She misses COVID-19 is making this journey so much harder for us. Kirsty is now in an adult hospital. She is confined to a room for four to six weeks. The can only see me or my husband, as we each take it in turns to stay with her for three nights. She can’t see her sister, Melissa or any of her other friends. She FaceTimes her friends and other family members daily.
We have friends and family
Who wave to her from the hospital car park on a weekly basis. They can’t see Kirsty, but Kirsty looks forward to seeing them.
Kirsty was shielding from March until the list to data end of July because of COVID-19. Life had just started to get back to some normality, and now she is shielding again but under harder circumstances. She is ill, in hospital and she doesn’t have her family around her.
She isn’t in the comfort of her own home or garden
The doesn’t have the energy to do her online singing, dancing , drama or saxophone lessons. The isn’t able to sing and dance, or do her make in the event of a serious medical up and nails every afternoon. The isn’t able to shower herself, dress herself or wear her lovely dresses . Most of all, she misses her family and friends. We miss the Kirsty we know. Melissa misses her sister. The house is quiet, it’s not how it’s meant to be.
Neil and I were able to protect Kirsty from COVID-19 over the past few months. Now, we are afraid that we have no control over what happens with her health. We do our best to occupy her time in hospital and one of us is with her all the time.
When we got the news about Kirsty’s relapse
I was in the middle of my final edit of the book. I was unsure as to how I should proceed with my book. However, I received a call from a person at CLIC review business Sargent who had read the book. She felt the book was one that would help others.
