1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: You might recall a couple of weeks ago, well, the

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: conversation that we'd had with Christine her young girl, her

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: daughter Kira, had been hit with a rock at a party.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: It was such a horrendous situation to see unfold in

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: the vision that was going around on social media. There

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: were so many of you who got in contact with us,

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: really very concerned about her family. Now joining me on

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: the line right now is Christine. Good morning to you.

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: Good morning Katie.

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: It's lovely to have you on the show. Christine. Can

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: I ask how is Kira going.

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: Every day? Improving? Her mobility is quite good now where

13
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: she's back at VET today, seeing how we go with concentration,

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: so look every day much better and how and.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: You know, in terms of those injuries, like is everything

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: sort of healing quite well at this point.

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: Yes, at this point we have had the stitches out

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: and so and her hair's growing back. So as far

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: as physically, she's doing very well. Emotionally as you would imagine,

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: a little bit up and down, and we just have

21
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: to see now day by day how her response is neurologically,

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: So concentration at school, concentration at that fine point, you know,

23
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: motor skills things like that, so we don't know until

24
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: we could you test them day to day.

25
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: And Christine, what's it been like for you? I would

26
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: imagine quite like quite difficult seeing your your young girl

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: go through that and you know, and providing that support

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: to her that she needs. Yeah.

29
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Look, we're a pretty resilient bunch. She I think we've

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 2: just lived through it. You know, it's it's occurred, and

31
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: we've just reacted day to day as we've needed to.

32
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: The shock in community has been, you know, something that

33
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: I've been really aware of, Like, we have so many

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: friendship groups and family groups and their shock has just been,

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: you know, quite incredible, and it is, it is really shocking.

36
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: I guess just being in it is a completely different experience.

37
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,279
Speaker 2: And we're just doing the do really.

38
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just getting through the best that you can.

39
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a couple of rough days last week,

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: but I'm back at work and back on track and

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: feeling stronger. Just waiting now to see you know, there's

42
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: physio appointments, there's OT appointments, there's rehab appointments, there's doctor appointments,

43
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: there's neurosurgeon appointments. The physio and OT are going to

44
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: be weekly, so it's all just you know, follow up

45
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 2: now and just for it seeing how she reacts to everything.

46
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Now, Christine, can you tell me is has there been

47
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: much of an update when it comes to you know,

48
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: what had actually gone on in terms of that rock

49
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: being thrown and you know, on what had happened as

50
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: those gate crashes were at the party.

51
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: Oh look, Katie, there's stories everywhere. As you can imagine,

52
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: we have an idea what happened, but it's still it's

53
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: stilling being investigated. So we still don't have any answers

54
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: seventeen days later, which can be quite frustrating, but we

55
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: have to believe in the process.

56
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Now, Christine, the thing that I found so lovely last

57
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: time you and I spoke is we we were honestly

58
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: inundated with messages, with phone calls, with people just getting

59
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: in contact with us, you know, who were just concerned

60
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: obviously about you and about Kira, but there was also

61
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, to everyone, there was all also the likes

62
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: of Kesier Purick, who'd been in contact with us, who

63
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: was like, do you know what I want to buy

64
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: them dinner? Or I want to do something to help?

65
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: God, I can't wait for that dinner coming very much.

66
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: And I know that you know that, even Shelley, the

67
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: wonderful Shelley out there at Zicoli, I GA, what's that

68
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: been like for you? You know, as the community sort

69
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: of rallied around in a way that you probably didn't

70
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: realize that they would.

71
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: No, And we did put it on social media, Shelley

72
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: arriving with how many DAGs hued for us last week?

73
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: And that was really emotional and as she said, you

74
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: know when she writes from one mother to another, so

75
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: sorry emotional it was. It was just amazing the kindness

76
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: and the thoughtfulness, and her young son was an amazing

77
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: young man and helped carry it all into the house

78
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: and it was just it was just incredible, very very grateful.

79
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 1: Christine. Honestly, don't apologize for being emotional, because I was

80
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: a bloody mess watching that video, watching you two women,

81
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: and I you know, I know, Shelley, I've not I

82
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: don't think i've met you personally before, but honestly, I

83
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: was I was a mess watching that thinking exactly the

84
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: same thing, you know, as a mum. And yeah, and

85
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: two wonderful people, you know, helping helping each other out,

86
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: and and again I think that that's the way that

87
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: the whole community has felt, is that you were so

88
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: incredibly strong when we spoke to you on the radio,

89
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: and you continue to be and I think that, you know,

90
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: I just think it's really important that you know that

91
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the whole community is thinking of you and your daughter,

92
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: and certainly you know, really really hoping that she's able

93
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,400
