After being given medication for a possible ear problem she appeared to make a good recovery but it was short-lived and within weeks she began to confuse details about her grandchildren. Recalling the events of November 2020 her daughter Beth Phillips, a primary school teacher from Cardiff, said: "Mum would ask how my son, Griff, was getting on at school but he was only 18 months at the time.
"It was my eldest, Teddy, who was actually in school. She was given medication for a urine infection which seemed to work and Mum seemed like her usual self. We originally thought she could have Alzheimer's."
