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.

ok, thanks guys.

I'll try to keep it going but there may not be much to add very often.

In saying that though, i do have some news today.
Dad has a law firm here and in the UK looking into Mums case.
The council of the town Mum had her accident in, had known for years that the traffic conditions where Mum was hit, is a pedestrian deathtrap. Many people have been hit on that road and recomendations have been made to council numerous times to change it but they didnt.
So, this law firm have looked into it and have told dad he has a case.

Anyway, dad was organising a new wheelchair to be made for Mum. It was going to cost him about $10 000.
So this lawfirm say they are so confident in them winning dads case that they have paid for the chair for Mum and if they win, dad pays them back, and if they dont, he doesnt have to worry about it.
So, after months of chair making, he got it this week and Mum has been in it and looks really comfortable, but.......it's giving her bed sores ๐Ÿ˜ž
So the chair is going back to the "drawing board" for some changes.
