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

Thank you for taking the time out of your stressful day to update us on how your mom is doing. You will be in my thoughts and prayers as you journey through this most difficult time. Big hugs!

Lynn, please don't apologise for not having replied to us... I am sure that no one expects you to spend time doing that. Thank you so much for the update, we are all praying and will continue to do so. For your Mum, Brian and for you. You have got to take time and rest too and vent if need be.

One has to leave it upto the doctors to know what is best and do the needful. God willing there will be good news soon.

God Bless and keep you all.

My thoughts and prayers are for you all, may God bless you .....hugs

Lynn! I'm so saddened to hear about this, especially after recently having a friend who was in a horrific accident. I am sending loving prayers up to Jesus for you, your mom, your extended family and all the staff working around her! May His healing presence surround you all. xoxo

UPDATE - THURS 7.30PM
Just heard that mum will be in a back brace for at least 3 months. Thank God they are not operating on her back. No more information yet but will let you know as soon as I know. Sorry I haven't replied to things, I'm so tired. Just basically trying to sleep as much as I can. Love and hugs (and thank you for your prayers) x x x

*EDITED BELOW* UPDATE ON MUM 11.30PM FRIDAY (27 June)
Hi everyone, I'm getting so many messages and calls that I thought it best to write another update. Mum's temperature has gone up and they *think* she may have pneumonia. They have done tests and x-rays and we are waiting for the outcome. Please note that she may not have it, we are just not sure yet. She is still in the Trauma Unit and being monitored.
Thank you so much for your posts, prayers, messages and calls. I'm so sorry I can't get to everyone.
At this very moment we are waiting for a doctor to come out and see Brian. He has some chest and stomach pain. It's probably nothing but it's worth getting seen to by the doctor just in case. Shock has definitely set in with Brian. He's just sitting quietly by himself and isn't speaking much at all. We managed to spend the whole day sleeping which is something we really needed.
Thank you all for everything. Much love to you my family and friends. x x x
*EDITED TO ADD*
Dr has been. Brian seems to be ok. Dr doesn't think there's any bad damage but thinks Brian is in shock. nothing more to be done for him right now. It's just good to know that there doesn't seem to be internal damage. probably just residual pain from the crash kwim? Said to keep an eye on him and see how things go. xxx
