Mum suffered an Aortic Dissection

Surgery is not an option and medication is not helping her. She has been awake and alert most of the time, but gets tired very very quickly. The doctors cannot get her blood pressure stabilised and each time it goes crazy it does more damage to her insides. Mum is confident, I am not. She says 'when she gets out of hospital', I say 'if'.
If she gets out of hospital her life will be controlled by her blood pressure machine and medication and her independence will be reduced greatly. All of us will find this challenging.
Today is the day I leave Sydney as my home.
