Roo Stewart (played by Georgie Parker) is reeling after the SHOCK news about her mum, Martha's (Belinda Giblin) condition on Home and Away (1:15pm - see our TV Guide for listings)...

Martha's health has been failing ever since she was exposed to toxic chemicals during a scary situation at Salt.

But now it looks like Martha has left it too late to finally agree to a long-awaited kidney transplant that could prolong her life...

Roo now regrets being so hard on Martha when she originally refused to go ahead with the transplant.

Perhaps if Roo hadn't been so pushy, maybe Martha would have agreed to the surgery sooner?

Roo and her dad, Alf (Ray Meagher) are devastated and unsure what will happen next.

But some friendly words of encouragement from family friend, Marilyn Chambers (Emily Symons) give Roo an idea for a way to try and boost everyone's spirits.
