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.

spoke to dad last night.
Mum is still not well and has run out of antibiotics now. The Doc wants to see how she goes off them before giving her more.
dad said she did seem a bit better today, but still needs regular suctioning.
He said on Monday night they nearly had to put her back on the oxygen.
On Wed night, dad couldnt sleep so at 1am he went for a walk.
A dog attacked him.
He says it latched on to his arm and tore his coat apart. So he put his hand down to get it off and it got his hand.
He got it off by poking it in the eye.
Didnt realise how bad his hand was till he got home in the light and saw all the blood and punctures.
Luckily, the nurses up with Mum kept pushing him through the day to go see a Doc.
So yesterday arvo he went to the doc who gave him a tetnus shot, cleaned the wound and put him on antibiotics for the infection that had already set in.

Oh Amy, I hope your mum doesn't need to go back on the antibiotics.
