Daughter's illness

Hop on a plane and go and see her. No question. Just do it.

So sorry she is so ill.

Mishaps right. Just do it!

I agree with Mishap. It may seem like you are bound into the plans you already have but your daughter needs you now.

Hi
You are saying that she is seriously ill.
Have you the money to go and see her?
I dont really have much of a clue as to how much it would cost.
Perhaps you will be back in time for the concert?

You are on the same continent with lots of transport links. If it was one of my DC I wouldn't hesitate.

I am sure the concert organisers will work something out if you can't take part, and they will understand.

Without knowing how important the concert is, it's hard to understand why you don't just change your plans and go immediately to be with your daughter.

You must go ASAP.

You must go ASAP

It's an echo

Cannot believe you are even giving it second thought, she is Your DD for goodness sake!!

Get on the first plane out of Vancouver and get to the hospital asap the concert can wait surely ?

Go

Sorry, but I agree with everybody- you should go and see your daughter.

Without a doubt. You should go

When my DD was seriously injured in a car accident I didn't think twice (nor did DH), we dropped everything and went straight to her bedside and were there for most of the next two months. Other commitments? They could go hang, DD was our priority

So do as Mishap says drop everything and go to her bedside. Everyone will understand, if they don't they are people you can do without.

Go to her, Daisyanswerdo. Other things can fall by the wayside, because they really aren't important. I hope all goes well for her.

You know what I'm going to say it's what everyone else has said and I expect it's what you already know in your heart. You must go to her. She needs you and you need to be with her. I think we somtimes need to write difficult things down or say the words out loud to make them real or to put them in order in our head and I think that's what this post about really. You making sense of something dreadful. I hope your daughter recovers. Safe journey. The concert can be rearranged.

You must go to her!

DS1 had a stroke while living in Japan and the longest ten hours of my life were the ones spent in a plane not knowing what we would find when we got to Osaka!

Let us know how things go!

Daisy just go. You won't regret it.

Poor Daisy , I hope you go and find DD a lot better

Am I the only one feeling a bit sorry for Daisy (apart from her immediate situation, obviously)?

She pours her heart out, voicing all her conflicting emotions and gets bombarded with orders to 'go, right now!'.

I hope you're OK Daisy and feeling more decisive. I also hope for a good outcome for your daughter - it must be terrible for the family to be so far apart at this time.

You're not the only one, Ana We don't know all the facts so I have hesitated before posting. There is nothing I can say or do other than send you my best wishes, Daisy and hope you soon get some better news about your daughter.

Good that you are getting support from your friends where you are at the moment.

Ana , Daisy said she felt desperately worried. I think that's why everyone encouraged her to change her plans.

Of course she's desperately worried, but I did feel rather uneasy about the assumption that Daisy needed to be 'told' what to do...
