Boys,

I wasn't sure I should, but I need to let you know what's gone on. Mum's had another awful attack, she's in full on dementia right now and now one can tell why. It's been like this the last few days, we've got her tucked away at a muggle hospital in Devon. She wouldn't go near St. Mungo's, kept saying she refused to go into some sort of musty basement when we tried to get her near the visitor's entrance. Even Dad lost his temper, he never does that with her. Now he seems worried I'm going to crack, too, keeps looking at me like he's walking on eggshells or something.

We've gotten rooms at a local inn - not that he ever leaves her side - and they said this should pass like the other bouts, but I'm going crazy here, boys.

Hopefully I'll be back to real life by this weekend, we've got practice Saturday and Sunday, after all, don't we? I'm just... Feeling lost. Magic can't save this. Muggle medicine can't save it. She just keeps getting worse.

Love,
Cho

PS. Johnny, I let coach know, so he shouldn't be asking around, but if the team starts questioning, come up with something? Anything? Please?

  Cho, love, thank you telling us. It's not something you should have to go through alone. I wish I could fix your Mum for you but I'm no medical expert. She is in good hands now though, right?
  
  There was a Trainee Healer at the tourney, Katie Bell, she is pretty good with head injuries. Fixed me right up after getting that Bludger to the head. I'll ask her on the sly to see if she knows a Healer not affiliated with St. Mungo's if you'd like. One that would come and visit your Mum. I get the feeling that St. Mungo's don't seem to cater for everything. There could be something they are missing that a fresh set of eyes might pick up straight away.
  
  Of course, I'm not saying it to give you some sort of false hope. You are too intelligent to fall for that. But it is worth a shot, right?
  
  As for the team, I'll tell them you're really a spy and are on a secret mission to save the day from an evil mad scientist. They'll just think I have watched too many movies again, but they'll know not to pry. Wood seems to keep the others in line despite not being Captain. Guess it comes from his days of trying to control the Weasley Twins. If he can keep them under control, the Puddlemere squad would be easy to wrangle.

    Thanks Johnny, I remember Katie from Hogwarts, we used to fly against each other. Do you think you could ask her? I'd hate to be a bother but we're desperate. Dad's capable, in so many ways obviously he runs his whole company for crying out loud, but... Dad just doesn't work without Mum, you know? And she's not herself. So he's not himself. And I feel like I'm losing my mind right along with her.
    
    Give Mia my kisses, I picked her up something small from one of the shops outside the hospital (gift sent after letter via floo).
    
    I'll let you know if anything changes.

      It's no problem at all. You're family and family have got to stick together and help each other, right? I'll send her an owl as soon as I am done writing to you.
      
      Mia adores the present. It is now known as "Cho-Bear" because she heard it was from you.
      
      Thanks, I'd appreciate it. Sending love, kisses and well wishes your way. You know where I am if you need anything, okay?
