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.

When Mum had her accident, i would lay in bed crying and begging that if my Pop could hear me, could he please help Mum.



I wonder now, has my Mum been holding on all these years so she would not pass before her own mother cause she knew it would break Nans heart.
Maybe now, with Nan and Pop gone, maybe Mum will let go.
Maybe Nan and Pop will be with her to help her pass over.



Dad says that at the exact time Nan died, Mum started crying and cried the rest of the day. We all remember Mum telling stories that she used to see her Poorly Mom (Thats what she called her Grandma) after she had passed and Dad thinks that Nan may of "appeared" to Mum after her death. My sister says Nan would oftten say she wished she could go and see Mum, so, maybe she did after she passed.

Wow, I got a shiver when I read of your mum crying at the same time of your Nans death. You very well could be right Amy, I think perhaps your nan did come and say goodbye to your mum.

Today is the day of my Nan's funeral.


I had to make a very tough decision as to whether i could go or not.


I am 16 hours away from Dubbo, so it would be a very long, very hot drive with 2 kids and a baby. Also, we would have to stay in a cabin or Motel, which, at this time of the year, would be hard to get and would also cost a fortune. So with petrol and accommodation, we would be looking at a cost of around $2000.00.


I also, unfortunately, i had to consider my Mum. What if she were also to pass away within the next month or two. How would we be able to afford to do the Dubbo trip again, so soon?
So, with a breaking heart, i made the decision not to go ๐Ÿ˜ž
I love my Nan and my thoughts are with her today. My thoughts are also with my sister and her family and my Dad as they say their goodbyes
