It has been no secret that my children probably saved my life along with the medical staff that helped me. On the night of my accident, as soon as they found me the phoned for the ambulance. Essex Ambulance Service were so impressed by their call that they have asked if they can use it to teach children in local schools what to do if they find themselves in a similar situation. The Ambulance Service have also arranged a day for the children to go along and be rewarded with certificates and medals. I am so proud of them both. For a 10 year old and a 14 year old they did fantastically well to phone 999, remain calm and explain exactly what they could see.
Also today they accompanied me to my first Neurology appointment and we had some fantastic news again. The Consultant said he has never cared for anybody that has recovered in the speed that I have and to the degree I have. He said there are only two other recorded cases similar to my recovery in the UK. I don’t know how true that is but I’m just so glad it was news that could put my children’s minds at rest.
My one wish and hope for all you wonderful, supportive people is that you all receive this kind of positive news sometime soon.
