Recovery in progress...
20 April 2026
Fakalofa atu to all our family and friends near and far 👋🏼
Firstly apologies for not sending another update sooner but please know your kind words, love and support haven't gone unnoticed or felt!
I'm now back in NZ with access to a stable internet connection 😅 so I'll be able to sort things out quicker for Mum.
It's been almost a month since the fire (3 days from today) and Mum is doing really well! Her healing has come a long way even in the week since I left her thanks to her friends who took over her dressing changes and those that have sent/taken more burns creams and parrafin gauzes over for her. She has a doctors appointment tomorrow so we will see what real medical staff have to say...
Mum's noticed an increase in energy, no longer requiring a nap during the day and since the head nurse/maid/chef (me) has left, she's feeling mobile enough to sweep and do the washing daily. I am worried about her eating though because she doesn't normally prioritize that 🤦🏼. But due to the new routine she's now sleeping through the night which is definitely good for her recovery 😊
This weeks goal is to get Mums car sorted so she isn't feeling reliant on others and can go do the things she needs, when she needs. Although she has many people there willing to help her, we all know how Mum is a fiercely independent woman 💪🏼
I've linked the interview Mum and I did for BCN and attached yesterdays comparative pic so until the next update, love to you all from Mum, Coco and me ❤️
