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.

Yeh, its different Jack but, when it comes to our Mums, the sadness is still the same and the pain is still the same.
Cherish this time you have with your Mum. Your goodbye's will be hard.
I dont post on your thread as i just dont know what to say but please know that you and your mother are in my thoughts

On this day 5 years ago i got an email from my Aunt in the UK asking whether i was home because she needed to call me. I answered "yes" and the phone rang not long after. She told me that Mum had been hit by a car and was in a coma.
I went into a state of shock but rang my hubby at his work and he came home straight away.
I also had the terrible job of ringing my sister.
That day was the worst day of my life.
Five years have passed now. She is in a semi vegetative state, unable to communicate, move or eat.
As the years go by, i just want this to end. This needs to end. I dont know if i believe in heaven etc, but if it does exist, that is where my Mum should be.
i rang dad last night and he was very down. Have to be careful what you say to him. I could never tell him that i wish Mum would find peace. He does not feel the same. I think dad finds peace in just holding on to the little bit of Mum that is left. A part of me finds him a bit selfish. He has a life routine and he doesnt want it to change.
I know, as he says, i cant begin to imagine what he is going through, but i dont think he even tries to understand that my sister and I are also going through hell.
This is his wife but its also our mother and i think he has forgotten that
Can you be allergic to your won tears?
When i cry now my eyes sting like ive been peeling onions
Amy, you are still in my thoughts, wishing your Mum a 'release' from all this, so your family can start to heal.....xox
