Cambs woman who suffered stroke makes 'miracle' recovery through music after 108 days in hospital
Her family were told to prepare for 'end-of-life care'
The family of a stroke patient has praised staff at North West Anglia NHS Trust for assisting her recovery with music therapy following a “catastrophic” stroke. Christine Mason, 79, suffered a stroke at her home in Peterborough earlier this year and was admitted to Peterborough City Hospital where her family were told to prepare for “end-of-life care”.
But after 108 days in hospital, Christine, a former Sunday School teacher and talented musician, left the stroke unit to continue her rehabilitation at a local brain injury centre. Christine’s great-niece, Amy Bohan, believes that a form of “music therapy” introduced by the Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy team has assisted in her "miracle" recovery.
She said: “We were told that she would probably never walk or talk again, and towards the end of three weeks of her being in a coma, to make arrangements for end-of-life care. She added: “Music and faith have always been very important to her and a big part of our family as Christians, and we see Christine’s recovery as something of a miracle.”
Sheena Bedborough, senior therapy assistant at North West Anglia NHS Trust, and her colleague Angieska Koczur have recently been treating stroke patients on Ward B11 as part of the Therapy Team. They play familiar songs and music to provide additional therapeutic input, which patients enjoy through movement and memory stimulation.
Sheena said: “The response from patients has been incredible. Christine in particular has responded exceptionally well. We play familiar songs and started to take in a guitar, knowing her love of music and previous fondness for playing this, and the cello and violin as part of her church group.
