And she said, no, I didn't take them.

And then I called her, I said, I'm after doing boiled eggs and we were all sitting at the kitchen table and she looked a bit, very pale.

And then after that, then she had broken a mirror and she'd cut herself.

And my husband questioned her.

I think he thought she'd taken tablets as well.

Yeah, we didn't know until later on that day that it was a paracetamol overdose she'd taken.

So we had called the ambulance and over to A&E again.

Yeah, shortly after that, then her organ started to fail and we were told that she'd need a liver transplant.

So thinking back of that, it was just such a hard time waiting to see if she'd get a liver.

She was incubated.

She was in a dark room.

She had all these machines hooked up to all different machines ready for surgery.

And you couldn't speak or you couldn't talk in the room.

You couldn't make a sound.

I remember going into the room and I brought a big lump of tissue with me just in case, because I thought when I seen her, I'd just burst out crying, you know.

But she was so lucky, like she got the liver and the transplant team were absolutely amazing.

Oh my God, they were just the most amazing people.

But they had great faith in the psychiatry and as well, they told us from her head to her toes, she would get the best treatment ever.

You know, so we were so hopeful.

Yeah, she... See, it was coming up to Christmas and they said she could come home for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and we'd bring her back up Stephen's morning.
