Aw Pat, I am so sorry to hear of your family's troubles. Absolutely loads of vibes for DiL and hopes that all goes well for her. And a gert big hug ((((((PAT)))))) for you for the way you found out - been there, not nice.
Thanks everyone x Son just phoned. He was on his way to the hospital as Sam was in aState. They've done blood cultures and a scan showed 'a large collection' (whatever that is). All he knows at the moment is that she is now having a blood transfusion.
