My grandad has just been taken to hospital.

My aunty has just called to say that he has gone for tests and a scan (Was taken will full blues and 2s).

My mum is in tenerife and I have contact by text.

My aunty says it is up to me if I tell my mum or not.

So at 1st I decide to wait and see what the results of the tests are.

Then I get a text from my mum asking if I can ring my other auntie as she has a text from my nan saying grandads been taken to hospital.

I now need to make the decision to either play it down or tell mum the truth (well the truth from what I have heard).

Part of me thinks I should wait but now mum knows she will panic. But what if my auntie is being over the top about it all and its not that serious? But then again what if it is?

Sorry for waffling...

Can my grandad have some get well vibes please.

    I know you won't want to worry her, but I'd tell her. It's her father afterall and if she finds out later you knew it could cause bad feeling.

    Hope it's something easily sorted.

    I'd tell her but I'd play down the emergency side of things. Wishing your grandad a speedy recovery.

    He hasn't been ill as such, just feeling run down. But then he is in his 70s

    mum now knows he is in hospital but wants to know details and I don't have details ☹️

    I would tell her. This happened quite a few years ago with my mum, she was on holiday and it was the first time she had ever left the name of the hotel with me, I don't know. My papa had a massive heart attack and my aunt phoned her, they decided to come home early.

    ? and positive vibes.

    Now your Mum already knows that her Dad's in hospital I would tell her everything that you know. She needs to make her own mind up regarding what she should do.

    Hope its just been a scare and nothing serious ?

    So tell her that. You know he's gone for tests but you don't have any details. Promise to update her when you find out more.

    I've told her all I know. They isn't anything she can do if she came back early. Besides we don't know if it is anything serious.

    Arrghhh life...

    ++++++++++++++++ vibes for you and your family..

    I would go ahead and tell your mum. My folks were both away when my brother had his car accident last year, and I definitely feel like I made the right decision in calling them, even if it was late at night.

    Arrrghhh families...

    Mum has just texted to say my auntie has texted her to say that my grandad is in a lot of pain, very thin, throwing up and has said he wants to die!

    Now I know she needs to know he is ill but really, she doesn't need to know that he has said he wants to die.

    Ah, vibes for your grandad Sherry.

    Why on earth would your aunty say all that to your mum. Thats slightly over the top, even though it may be true. Bit of a loaded thing to send by text
