I should imagine Gemma will have had her mother off her feet a few times, so she won't see it as a miracle, more a relief that she is back on them again.
She was obviously pleased, no doubt about that, as to the party, I dare say she will have already asked her mother to sort something out for her birthday party if she isn't out of the house in time.
You now, when we poor beggars are off our feet we are very good on the telephone and the Internet, plus we are stuck in the ruddy chair all day so having something to organise is fantastic.
