My Mums update thread

[daydream**believer]

This thread is dedicated to my Mother and her recovery.




On Monday the 4th June 2007, while holidaying in the UK with my Father, my Mother was struck by a van while crossing the road.

Mum spent 88 days in various UK hospitals before finally being brought home back to Australia on the 30th August 2007.

She is currently in The John Whittle Nursing Facility with brain damage

I have set up this thread to keep you all updated on her condition and her improvements and hopefully one day, Mum will be able to read it.

someone tried to break into dads garage last night. They didnt get in but they broke the lock.

My sister went round to give him a hand organising a locksmith. She hasnt been over to the house for a few months. She says the house is looking very run down and the lawns are a mess. Its too much for him

The area he lives is getting worse and worse with crime. And it doesnt help that my dad abuses the gangs of kids when he sees them in the street.

My sister tried to talk to him about selling and getting a little flat but he refuses. He says thats his and Mums home.

I will try and talk to him about it tonight

I wish you luck.

The only thing I can suggest is saying something along the lines of "If you sell up, you can move closer to mum or daughter"

Mums in hospital again.

Second time this year now.

She has respitory problems and an extremely high fever

Yesterday Dad and my sister got the call telling them they needed to get to the hospital asap as this was it, but, they got there and she was a bit better again.

Dad thinks this could be it this time.

All the best Daydream.  It will be so nice for her and the family when she is at peace.

Hi Daydream, I always check this thread on the rare occasions I look on here. 

How are things going? 

Keep your spirits up, one day this will end; I know waiting for that day can be really hard.

Hi womble,

Well Mum was in hospital for a week again this time. Again we were told to prepare for the worse. On one of the days my dad and sister got a call to tell them to get back up to hospital now as they thought she was going, but she didnt.

She fought off 4 days of an extreme high temp and is now back at the nursing home.

They did do a blood test on her and said her white blood count is dangerously low so any sickness could be the end.

But we still wait.

I think dad is now ready for it to end

Daydream I have been reading your thread during the last few years. It is very hard when a parent is so ill. I know how it feels to get ready to say goodbye only to have them rally. It is awful to know that somewhere along the line you will have to prepare yourself all over again. 

Your Dad will come around to your way of thinking eventually, and find a home that he can manage. It is just a terrible upheaval for him, and the memories.......

So another Mothers Day coming this Sunday.

The 7th Mothers Day since my Mums accident.

I put on a happy face for my family but inside im a mess. I miss my Mum.

I cant buy a card for her. It tears me apart reading the Mothers Day cards in the shops. They all say things like "Have a great day", "Hope you get spoilt" etc.

There are no cards that say "I love and miss you so much and Im so sorry for the condition you are in and that i wish it would end soon."
