Kia ora, Moana.
Hone. Hi.- How's it going?
- Yeah, nah, can't complain.
- Hey, how's your mum doing? Heard she was a bit crook.
- Oh, thanks for asking. Yeah, she's doing heaps better.
- The doctors reckon it was just a mild stroke. She's already out of hospital.
- It's been a bit of a wake up call for her.
- I bet. Pretty scary, aye?
- Yeah. Kind of hard to believe, but we've learned a lot from all of this.
- I think she'll be trying much harder to take care of herself. She's promised the whanau she'll give up the ciggies and drink.
- Nice, good to hear. She's lucky as that it wasn't more serious.
- Right! We're all just relieved that she's gonna be fine.
