Shareen Hussain said the sound of the vehicle striking nine-year-old Ayaan still haunts her months after his accident.
Mum-of-five Shareen Hussain said the sound of the vehicle striking nine-year-old Ayaan Manir still haunts her months after his accident. The youngster was crossing Bridge Street, Paisley , on September 16, when he was thrown in the air after being hit by a car in front of his mum and three siblings, Adeem, 6, Zaidan, 4 and Alayna, 18 months.
"When I turned around, the first thing I saw was Ayaan's shoe lying in the middle of the road and then I noticed his body was further up. There was blood everywhere. My heart dropped and I just remember screaming his name over and over again." Shareen added: "He was in intensive care for the first week and when he woke up he couldn't speak. Doctors told us they didn't know if he ever would again. It was just a waiting game to see how he recovered. Three weeks later he finally spoke. He uttered the word no and it was such a relief. Just to hear his voice again was magical."
"The accident and his injuries have definitely changed his personality and we don't know if he will ever be back to how he was before, but the main thing is that he is still here with us " Katie Roddick, NHSGGC Advanced Specialist Occupational Therapist, Major Trauma, said: "The neurorehabilitation team, alongside major trauma and nursing colleagues, work with children as a team effort, and I'm thankful to everyone who ensures all the pieces of treatment fit together.
