UPDATE ON MUM - THURS 5PM
Apologies to all those who have written messages and I haven't replied yet. Have only just woken up. First sleep I've had in 2 days.
OK, mums blood pressure has risen slightly but she is still in the critical room of the trauma unit with a nurse with her 24/7. The rise in her blood pressure is a good thing.
Now for the not so good things.
They thought her neck and back were broken.
Her neck is not broken.
Her back is broken in 2 places. They don't know how they are going to handle this yet. A complete brace could be one option. However mum has 2 legs that don't work properly (thus the knee replacement operation she was going to have) and a broken hand and her other arm was damaged years ago so she doesn't really have full use of that arm. A brace would make her totally immobile.
Operation - there are bad things about having an operation at her age plus with her other injuries.
Mums broken arm - they might be operating on that. Again, not quite sure ... they haven't made a decision as to what will be best for her, as yet.
So basically we won't know maybe till tomorrow what they will do ... operation on back or brace etc. That's all I know.
Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts. I am going to turn the house phone off for a few hours. I'm a wreck. I guess I just need to lie here and take it all in. Brian's bruising is showing up quite a lot on his stomach. He has a doctors appointment tomorrow. The shock etc. has really set in with Brian. We knew mum was bad but didn't know till yesterday that her back could be broken and now we know it is.
God bless you all. Will updated more as I know more. I hope all this sounds OK. I'm so tired still and not thinking very straight. Love to you all. x x x
