5th July 2007- Last night i changed my way of thinking after getting more good news.
While the nurses were cleaning Mum yesterday and walking around her bed, Mums eyes were following them. Such an improvement in such a short time.
All going well (i know ive said that before), Mum will be moved to Leicester next week.
Also, a different bowls club in Dubbo (not the one Mum bowls for), has donated $1000 for Mum and Dad.
Also, i wrote to the Doctor involved in the coma awakenings trials and he replied back the same day. This is part of his reply
Dear Amy *******,
Thank you for your interest in our work on zolpidem. The drug may be effective in some patients with brain injury or with impaired consciousness or in those who are neurologically disabled and hence it may be helpful to your mum.
We usually apply the drug 6 months or later after the initial brain injury. This is so because a lot of spontaneous changes can take place before 6 months. Also we do not have much experience before this time and we do not have many patients who reacted to the drug before this time.
It is difficult to make predictions on outcome on any early reactions after brain damage and hence you are best to be guided by the team that is taking care of your mum at this stage. You are most welcome to contact me again when necessary.
