Mum has a seizure and spends the week in hospital

Breakfast on BBC Radio Leeds

Available for over a year

As the NHS celebrates its 72nd birthday Andrew has plenty of reasons to be grateful. Mum has a seizure, caused by brain damage linked to her vascular dementia. Thankfully carers are with her and call 999. She gets excellent hospital treatment, but it's unclear for several days whether she'll ever be able to go home again. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on BBC Radio Leeds.
