Sally: Hi sorry but I can't make it on Monday - my mum has been taken into hospital.
Anna: Oh no! What happened?
Sally: She collapsed at home - they are just doing checks at the moment, but don't want to leave her.
Anna: Of course! Hope she is feeling better soon.
Sally: Yes, me too
Anna: Are you still coming in December?
Sally: Yes, hopefully - we can do something Christmassy.
Anna: Yes that would be good. Say "hi" to your mum for me.
Sally: Thanks I will. Will let you know how she gets on
Anna: Thanks xxx
Sally won't be able to meet Anna on Monday because her mother fainted and is now in hospital. Anna will probably come in December.
