My nightmare started March 29th 1996 a Friday my son Lee was in a car accident and it changed the lives of the whole family, my reason on writing this book is to help others who might go down this road and hope it will inspire them to fight for their loved one and to remember a mother’s love can reach parts of the brain that a doctor with a scalpel will never reach . . . .
I was happy with my life and my four children and grand children Lee was thirty one the second eldest fit and full of life Debra was two years older than Lee Andrea two years younger and Tarak was ten years younger than Andrea, we all loved close to each other so seen each other almost every day. Lee had been in a relationship for ten years but sadly it had ended and he was hurt and like any mother when your children are hurting you hurt to, a few weeks after the break up Lee was on the mend and he arranged for the family to be at my home on the Thursday night to have a drink and listen to music we all sat around the kitchen table and I looked at Lee and thought he has moved on he was smiling and singing along to bob Marley I had my son back and I was happy we all were but looking back now I think of it as the last supper the last time we would ever do that again.
Friday the 29th of march I awoke early and I felt dreadful upset tummy a sort of gut feeling that a mother gets and I tried all day to shake that feeling off but I couldn’t that evening I phoned Andrea and told her to send my grandson Warren up as he slept over on weekends I told her I had a tummy bug, Warren came to the house with a video film for us to watch later, I went to bed early Warren did some home work before we watched the video, About eight o clock Lee walked in the bedroom to check I was ok and he told me it was his friend Gary’s birthday he had bought him a snooker cue and he was meeting him in a pub nearby he said he would leave his car in my car park he also said he would not be drinking much as Lee was not a drinker really only special occasions Lee played on my bed with Warren then got up to leave as he said ( I will see you tomorrow ) I watched him walk out of my bedroom and this feeling washed over me like he was walking out of my life I hated the feeling I had and tried hard to shake it off, Warren kept asking when were we going to watch the video and I told him later as he did not have school in the morning, about 9-30 that evening Lee rang me he said he had a few games of pool with Gary and was going to get a taxi and pick a take away meal up and did I want one, due to my tummy I said no I would see him tomorrow that was the last time Lee spoke to me.
At 10-55 I told Warren to put the film on then I heard sirens and thought the sirens were near five minutes later I heard a loud banging at my door the kind that tells you something is wrong I threw my dressing gown on and ran downstairs on opening the door I seen Helen a girl the family knew well she was covered in blood she said Sylvia Lee is in a car accident I said no his car is here she stressed it was Lee and told me where the accident was, I rushed to the phone and phoned Andrea I jumped in the car with my ex husband Billy and Andrea got in the back of the car when we got near the scene of the accident we had to park further up the road as there was police cars fire engine and ambulance and the road was closed, we got out of the car Andrea ran ahead by the time Billy and myself reached the bottom I could see a boy on the floor I could see it was not Lee and I seen my son Tarak walk towards me and it looked like as if he was walking in slow motion and it seemed there was a fog or smoke everywhere, when he reached us i asked him where Lee was he looked at his father and said take mammy home but i insisted on knowing where Lee was and Tarak looked toward the ambulance where i seen Andrea step down from the back of the ambulance i went to enter but the policeman stopped me he said Lee was critical i said well why don’t you get him to hospital he replied they were stabilizing him and when the ambulance moved we were to follow them, we returned to the car and waited and after what seemed like hours we seen the blue light go on his head as he was losing fluid from the brain but he pulled through fine and then seven weeks after he took Tarak rabbit shooting Tarak was only ten and Lee was showing him how to hold the gun but the trigger was sensitive and when Tarak turned the gun went off it spun Lee around and he almost went over a big drop to the railway line he managed to get home Tarak was hysterical crying and we told him over and over it was an accident, Andrea took Lee to the hospital and he was admitted he had x-rays and the pellet was travelling and they knew the plastic tube had been broken so they transferred him to morriston hospital where they operated again to remove the pellet, again he pulled through with no after effects so I thought he was such a strong young man he would pull through this one.
When we got to I.C.U. the sister in charge met us she said she was giving us a little room that the family could go to while Lee was there and she took us straight to the room as she said Lee would be coming up the corridor soon and it would be better if he was cleaned up before we seen him and that she would soon come for me to see Lee’s doctor, I heard Lee’s bed being wheeled
