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.

they are doing it.
Mum is going to be put on Stilnox
Omigosh, Amy, that's huge news!
How/ when/ what changed??
I hope & pray that it does something! When will they start?
I cant believe things changed so quickly! You must be full of mixed emotions right now.
sorry for my post and run before.
So i rang dad tonight and he had been at Mums GP for the last 2 hours.
They had both been looking through the Stilnox trials websites and info that i had given to Mums GP 3 years ago.
They saw that no one who had been put on the trials has had any bad side effects so they talked and the GP said, if Dad wanted to try it, she would do it.
So dad said ok.
So the script for Stilnox has been sent to the Nursing Homes chemist.
The head nurse is being told how to give and how much to give and she will also stay with Mum and take notes on any changes.
Dad seems excited but also very nervous and i can tell he is trying to hold in any excitement cause he is scared of the disappointment. I can understand that
I feel over joyed.
But i feel a sense of completion. I dont know. its hard to explain. I have been wanting this for so long and i felt such grief and anger that i couldnt get it happening. I felt like i'd let Mum down. That i hadnt done enough.
Now, even if this does nothing, I know we tried everything.
The home might get the stilnox tomorrow. If it does, they will try her on it.
Tomorrow is my birthday and right now, i feel like ive been given the best present.......hope
