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.

Re: My Mums update thread

just spoke to my MIL, who just got home from visiting Mum.

She said Mum looks the worst she has seen her. She looks like a very frail old lady. Her eyes have sunken and her skin turned a dirty brown colour.
She says her breathing is very rough.
When she sat with Mum, she talked about me and the kids and Mum stared at her. She says she felt she could see Mum in her eyes.

Last week, on the phone, i told my Mum to stop fighting if it was getting to hard.
Maybe she did understand me

Oh Amy, it has been a long, rocky journey over the past two years or so. I hope that your Mum's passing is peaceful . She has fought so hard.

Thinking of you, Amy. Do whatever you need to do. If that means staying in your pajamas, then so be it. :-x

I'm sure she did Amy. :-x

I was lucky, my Mum still had enough breath to ask if I minded if she stopped fighting, but I am sure your Mum was asking that in her mind and was so glad you said yes.

You are a very brave caring Lady and I am sure your Mum is thankful you understood her ..........like always. :-x 😞

Oh Amy my thoughts are with you 🙂

Its been forever since I popped in and had a squiz at how your Mum is going.

The poem that you posted from Susan Polis Schutz is what I read out at my own Mum's funeral 😞

Hopefully she will be at peace soon Amy.....she will ALWAYS remain in your hearts and thoughts though 😉

I'm sorry Amy, but I must be off back to bed now.

Please know I will be thinking of you and your family tonight, even if I am not here to post. :-x
