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.

piggy- he wont read any article. he said he was barely able to watch the 60 minutes story.
And that makes me angry as well cause this is not just about him.

Im sorry, i love my dad but he is a verystrict routine man.
I dont think he wants his routine to change

I can see how annoying that is for you Amy. He has made a new routine for his life and he also probably doesnt want to feel a glimmer of hope only to be disappointed and no better off. ๐Ÿ˜ž

I wish they had tried it years ago when you approached the Dr's as it appears that it couldnt have hurt her.

Goodluck with this Amy, we are all behind you no matter what happens. โ™ฅ

Interesting article Amy, it would seem that it is not too late for your Mum. I hope your Dad and the Doctors decide to try it.

Such a difficult situation Amy.
Kylie could be right too, though, & he can't let himself face the possibility of anymore disappointment. And he may be afraid that if it does help, he's responsible for not allowing it to be trialled earlier. Who knows.
Even so, it seems it's the last hope, & only fair to give it a try.

Amy, please be guided by the specialists. Just because Stilnox is suitable of some patients does not mean it is suitable for your mother. If her organs are shutting down it could indeed hasten the process and kill her.

lyndal- ive done my reasearch and not one single brain injury person who has been tried on stilnox has died or gone into a coma or had any bad side effect.
It has either had an effect or had no effect at all.
I will not listen to the "specialists" who have given up on my Mum. In fact, they gave up on her the minute she arrived back in Australia.

Im sorry, i do get that you are concerned and i dont mean to come across angry.
Im emotional at the moment.


I had a starnge dream last night. I dreamt my Mum, my sister and I were standing out the front of a dark, gloomy factory. There were lots of broken windows and lots of doors to get in. Mum said "Ive got to go in" and we said "You cant, you'll get lost". She replied "If i do, you will come and fiind me". She went in and me and my sister waited out the front for ages but she didnt come out. We then decided we would go in after her but we couldnt remember which door she went in. Thats when i woke up.
I rarely remember my dreams but i can still see the image of the dark building in my mind and i can still see Mum walking in.
Is this some sort of message to me? Is my Mum asking for us to "find her"?
Its really freaking me out. I still have goosebumps and im shaky

i just rang my dad and told him about the dream.
I had to leave a message on his machine, which suits me as it would be to hard to tell him over the phone.
I am still shaking about the dream.
Ive told him i really feel like Mum was trying to communicate with me.

"LIKE"!!!.......... post 1058...I think you just answered your own question!
When you go to bed tonight, remember the dream and tell yourself that you want to dream the same dream, but want to know more, to know which door she went in...(how you can find her) you will be amazed at the answers you get, dream by dream.....
Dreams like these are a miracle, Amy! You will be helping your Mum find the way soon!!
it might not mean she will wake up and be as she used to be, but YOU WILL BE HELPING HER FIND A WAY OUT OF HER DARKNESS!

I just have a lot to think about at the moment.

I have been given some advice and that is to focus 10% on this Stilnox and trying to find a Doctor to give it to Mum and focus the other 90% on accepting that this is the way Mum is.
I think i have to do that, else it is just to hard
