My Mums update thread

This thread is dedicated to my Mother and her recovery.

Photobucket


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.

Amy, it's a small price to pay for a mum who has loved you all your life. I have been where you are, please believe when your lovely mum is gone, you will know you did everything you could and have no regrets.
Today, I have to take my hubby to see his mum, maybe for the last time. I am finding it hard to do, as she is not a mum who really tried.

{{{{{Amy}}}}}

I am so sorry honey that things have turned out the way they have for your mum.

Really all you can do now is love her, when you talk to her on the phone just tell her about the stuff that is happening in your lives, but don't hold out hope for a response. Know that somewhere deep inside her she is understanding what you are telling her, she is just unable to communicate back with you.

Sending you peaceful energy. :-x

Amy, my Mum died from a brain tumour almost three years ago. It was all so sudden - 3months between diagnosis and death. She went from being a vibrant, active Mum to a woman in a vegetative state within a blink of an eye. For a few weeks she would talk with clarity for brief amounts of time, but, mostly, she would talk about things that weren't real , even though they seemed very real to her. Then she stopped communicating and just lay there. At times she would smile and nod for no apparent reason, but, that didn't last long. I had been visiting her everyday, sometimes stay overnight, but, I was finding it harder and harder to do so. I felt afraid and helpless. One morning , i got up and said to OH that I didn't want to go to the hospice. half an hour later, my sister rang to say that Mum had died. It's hard, Amy.

Your Mum would not have made as much progress as she had without the love and support from her daughter. You fought so hard for her, Amy. Thinking of you, hun. It's been a long journey.
