The doctors say it was only a matter of time until a stroke and if it wasn't for the flu for her to come in we wouldn't have ever known!!!
Apparently she has been like this for years and has always been short of breath but put it down to her asthma but she was wrong.
How lucky are we, the flu has saved mums life, happy days!!!
