Many of you will have my met my mother at various Hayley-related shows where she has been a regular visitor since 2004. Sadly last Saturday she had a stroke. Fortunately I was with her at the time and called 999 and the paramedics were there very quickly. They soon confirmed my "diagnosis" of a stroke and rushed her to hospital. They had radio'd ahead and A&E were well-prepared. She is currently very poorly but it could have been a lot worse. She has survived the first 48 hours which apparently is good news. Now only time will tell about what sort of recovery she can make.
I'm currently putting together a player to include some of her favourite music for when she is strong enough to use it. Am hoping the sounds of Hayley, Katherine, Laura, Russell, Andrea etc will help her win the fight.
I am also going to drop a line off to Hayley as an autographed picture beside her hospital bed would be a boost for when she's feeling low.
Take care
Keith

Hi Keith,
Sad to hear your news. I know what it is like, my own mum had a stroke a few years ago now. She was in a coma for several weeks, and still has problems with her speech, and gets very frustrated trying to say things when she can't remember the words. This is despite having had extensive speech therapy. But she celebrated her 95th birthday a couple of weeks ago.
It is good news that help got to your mum quickly. I'm told that that can be the key to limiting the damage caused by a stroke.
My very best wishes to you and your mum for a good recovery.
Martin D

I understand that the first hour is critical and we are so grateful that I was actually there when it happened and the response from paramedics and hospital was very quick so improved her chances. |

I'm glad to hear she made it, and I hope she will recover very fast! Hayley and her new management have been very responsive these days, so if you request an autograph, I think the chances are very good that you'll receive one. |

Hello Keith...
Best wishes and speedy recovery to your dear mother. It's most encouraging to learn the emergency services and hospital staff were able to begin treatment during those early, critical minutes.
