Support family during mums illness and recovery

As some of you know I fell very poorly whilst pregnant with my third baby. After finding out my brain was hemoraging, I was quickly moved from NNUH to Addenbrokes where it was later found I had an "AVM" with an aneurism hiding behind it, the decision to deliver the baby early was made in order to give me the surgery I needed to try save her life.

Baby Sidney was born 5 weeks early and went straight to the NICU at the Rosie Hospital and I went down the to Trauma intensive care unit in addenbrokes to recover until my brain surgery date (a week later)

Baby Sidney and myself recovered in hospital fairly quickly and were soon reunited with the rest of the family unit. So I could continue my recovery.

Everything was going well and there were no further issues until just a few weeks ago on Sidneys 2nd birthday, where out of no where I collapsed to the floor and become really poorly. 2 ambulances and the air ambulance were called out for me as it was touch and go whether I'd make it to the hospital.

I have no memory of anything from around 3pm that afternoon until I regained consciousness around 8pm that evening, I didnt even realise I'd collapsed, so i was very confused. Even the first few days in the hospital are abit of a blur. 

Thankfully I made it through. However I was then in hospital for just over a week and subsequently taking just over 2 weeks off work.

My partner being self employed also took the time off to look after the children and then myself when I returned from hospital. Therefore leaving us both without pay for 3 weeks each in total.

I didn't even know what hospital I was in turned out I was over a hour from home as that was the quickest place to take me from the location I was when I become sick. 

I was setting this up so we could maybe get some help with some upcoming bills or even a few nice family days out when the weather gets abit nicer or a break away. As no child deserves to see their mother suffer through these circumstances! The children have coped through it all remarkably so a nice treat would be well deserved. Anything would help and I'm sure be appreciated.

This next upcoming road to recovery is still very much ongoing and at the moment uncertain.
