Bringing Yvonne home

  • Yvonne is Home

      30 March 2020

    Yvonne was discharged from Burwood Hospital last Wednesday in time for lock down. She is at home with her son David and is doing really well. Aids have been installed in the home and she is visited daily by a nurse who showers her and then supervises the exercises. Yvonne is able to move freely around the home with the help of a walker and is back cooking and enjoying real food again. Once again she has amazed Doctors with her progress. We thank you so much for helping to get Yvonne home when we did. Imagine the problems we would have had now.

    Thank you again you have all been amazing.

  • Progress Report

      24 February 2020

    Thanks to all of you good people Yvonne was repatriated to NZ last Wednesday.

    After a good first day Yvonne has been struggling a little with her breathing. They suspected a chest infection but luckily this was not the case.

    At present she cannot use the speaking valve or eat real food for at least another 24 hours.

    We hope that in the near future Yvonne will be transferred to Burwood Hospital which will make visiting easier.

    At present visiting is limited, trying to keep her quiet until the breathing gets better.

    We are still awaiting the account for all of this and will let you know the cost when we know.

    Yvonne is so happy to be home and is so appreciative of all your help and support.

    Regards Sue
