Dear Gransnetters,

I've been an irregular poster to these forums. I'm in need of help and support now.

My daughter is seriously ill in a hospital in Massachusetts. She has been running a b and b in Maine, which is why she is in the US.

I am at present staying with friends on an island near Vancouver. My plan was to visit my daughter on my way home at the end of December.

I am due to take part in a concert in a few days' time - this might seem irrelevant but it is part of my quandary. I am getting regular emails from my ex (her father) in England. Her husband is visiting her regularly and passing information to my ex, who acts as a hub.

She is having a dialysis catheter put in today. She had a very uncomfortable night with oxygen problems. Her problems are to do with her kidneys and lungs. She's been ill for a couple of months now. I've been sending her daily emails. Suddenly this morning everything seems more serious, and here I am so far away.

I don't know what anyone can do or say really. I feel so desperately worried. My friends here know her and are supportive, which is good.

Thank you for reading this.
