Dear All;
Last night in a terrible accident
Julie fell from her balcony and was seriously injured. She has broken
three vertebrae in her neck and is currently in the intensive care unit
in Townsville General Hospital. She has no sensation in her lower body
and arms but is conscious and aware and is breathing on her own.
The registrar has told us she was
lucky to survive the fall, her injuries are very serious and currently being
evaluated. There is no prognosis until further tests are done but an
operation will be required to relieve the pressure on the spinal column.
Her medical team will make a decision on when the teatment will take place and
whether it will be done in the TGH or the spinal unit in Brisbane where the
rehab facilities are better.
It is early days yet and we are
hopeful and have our fingers and toes crossed
Val and Norm
