THE week beginning October 27 has been an exciting week for a family having their mother discharged from Arrowe Park Hospital.

Mum has been a patient in Arrowe Park for 22 months, actually would have been two years this Boxing Day.

I would like to take this opportunity to praise and thank everyone involved with her recovery.

Mum has been in intensive care at the HDU unit for many months after surgery.

Her main stay was ward 18.

The staff and level of nursing, the skill of the surgeon and his team has been absolutely fantastic.

Mum is now at home and looking forward to a special Christmas with her family.

So thank you all at Arrowe Park, you’ve given mum her live back.
