Worrying News

I had another message from Nicky's husband tonight:

Nicky has been in hospital for nine weeks now and this time last week we thought we were over the worst of it, the doctors were even talking about a going home date. However a very minor lung problem last week that we thought would clear with a few breathing exercises has, after two CT scans to confirm, turned into a lung infection. This is one of the worst things that can happen as it can very quickly turn into pneumonia, that means a trip to intensive care. She is receiving intravenous antibiotics which have had some very unpleasant side effects, so I am afraid visiting is off the cards for the time being at Nicky's request.

I really hope she feels better soon and it isn't too long before she's back out of intensive care and ready to accept visitors.
