Good news - it’s not fractured, but first bit of bad news was they were concerned about her breathing, and initial checks showed she had a chest infection.
As the Elderly Medicine Unit in Leeds is at St James (and she was at LGI), she was transferred this afternoon - we have just found out she has tested COVID positive, so she is being transferred to a COVID ward at St Jimmy’s.
We’re a bit broken up about this news...

Not good news for you and your family.
I know it must be hard Hugh but if she had not fallen she could have remained in the Care Home and the Covid-19 may not have been picked up as soon. At least she is in the right place to get medical support and fingers crossed she could be out by Christmas. <<hugs>> to you all at this worrying time.
