On March 6th 2015 our mother, Yvonne Smith was admitted to hospital with a very rare condition called Guillain- Barre syndrome. Within a few days it had moved to her lungs, she was unable to breathe on her own and was moved to ICU (intensive care) where she was intubated and put on a ventilator. It was a very scary time for us all.
A few days later we thought she was starting to make progress but had a massive relapse, she aspirated whilst eating and food went her lungs ending up with Sepsis. She was so poorly, we nearly lost her and there were a few nights of not much sleep and very little hope.
