Jean's fall


Jean, Doug's mother was flown back to Vancouver last night by air ambulance after falling and breaking her hip and arm. John accompanied her on the Mexican air ambulance that made a refuelling stop in Tiajuana before carrying on to the South Terminal at Vancouver Airport. Arriving around 3:30am, she was then transferred by paramedics to an ambulance and taken to VGH for processing. John stayed with her, ensured that all of the documentation was handled and finally put his head on a pillow in the apartment at 7:00am.

It was a long and traumatic day for John, Doug and Jean but throughout the entire ordeal she maintained a cheerful disposition. Aside from her short term memory loss she is an amazing almost 95 year old lady! We love her!!
