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.

I'm glad your dad noticed. That might have been painful or uncomfortable at least. Let us know when she's had the procedure. Try not to look into the future right now. Take it day by day. There's lots of people here with you, in spirit.

Mum has to go in for surgery on Wednesday.
Her feeding tube has broken.
Luckily dad noticed the food leaking out around the hole that the tube has going into Mums stomach.
She was taken to Dubbo base hospital but they cant fit her in till Wednesday so they did a patch up job on the tube and sent her back to the nursing home.
I dont know much else.
Dont know if she has to be completely knocked out for the surgery.


Maybe she wont make it through the procedure.

Sometimes, there are worse things then death 😞

Its awful that your family, including your mum, has gone through this for so long. Does your mum have an DNR or NFR order? Because I imagine that is the last thing you could cope with, if it got even worse when she could have been left to be in peace. I would normally expect that you would have this order in place but then I read about how your Dad is in denial and wonder if he's not allowed this order to be placed.
