TRIPLE TRAGEDY: Gran who lost two children now fighting to get specialist care for husband with dementia


A GRANDMOTHER who lost two children in tragic circumstances is fighting her third heartbreaking battle.

Levina Brown, 68, says she needs specialist care for her dementia-suffering husband Mark who is stuck in hospital until a solution can be found.

The former mental health nurse lost son Mark, aged 29, to septicaemia in 2002, winning compensation for his treatment at Hope Hospital in Salford four years later, and her daughter Tracey at 39 to swine flu six years ago.

Now, she is fighting to get her 76-year-old husband out of Royal Blackburn Hospital and into care near or in his home in Waterfoot.
