An Australian mother left paralysed and twice close to death in Uganda says she is back on her feet and making a slow and steady recovery, even if her future is uncertain. Wave after wave of serious health conditions combined to leave Leah Makanda unable to move and triggered an emergency effort to return her to NSW for specialist treatment.
She was well enough to head home in May, with doctors at John Hunter Hospital diagnosing her with a functional neurological disorder, which is “caused by changes in how brain networks work”. She was told it was “most likely brought on by the huge amount of illness I suffered over the months earlier”. Makanda was discharged from hospital in recent weeks but her rehabilitation is ongoing and it is unclear how much mobility she will eventually recover.
