Mother at the hospital

This day could have started better. I got a phone call from my father and I could hear in his voice that something was wrong. He sounded nervous and did not really know how to put the things he wanted to say into words. But he finally said that mother is acting strange. He can not get any contact with her and she does not react on things he says, does, shows or even to touch. She just is. It is just like she does not see or hear me. And that was scary, he said. I could not understand what had happened and he told me that help was on the way. He has been at the hospital with her and promised to phone me when he know some more.

At the same time I have been following the news about an old lady from Ukraine. She is living here in Sweden with her family – children and grandchildren. Her husband died some years ago and since then she has developed dementia. Her names is Ganna and she is 91-years old. Her doctor says that she is no condition to travel to Ukraine, even if the Swedish Migration Board wants to send her back and not let her stay here in Sweden. She has no family in Ukraine. No one here really understand how they can be so cold hearted at the Swedish Migration Board and not read the doctor's letter that says that she could risk her life if she would be sent back to Ukraine. A flight for some hours would be a shock for her and her weak heart. I know this too, because my mother can not take a smaller trip or we can not visit her as a family because all these things make her nervous and she does not know what is happening.

People started to react and act and after some hours her deportation was stopped and the Swedish Migration Board will look into her case again. I just hope that this time it will be a more happier result. 

Hope that you had a better day. Hugs, Niina
