The woman was on holiday with family when the incident occurred and she is stranded in Bali until she recovers, because she does not have travel insurance.
The family also can’t afford a Medivac and Mrs Connaughton is still too sick to fly.
Her daughter Hope Connaughton was back in Australia and received the bad news via phone call.
‘We’re just waiting for that phone call basically to say she’s gone,’ she said.
Rosalind Connaughton is a mother of six and a grandmother to to 13, all of whom are eager for her to make a recovery, her daughter, Hope, said.
‘She’s our rock, she’s our world,’ she said.
There is still hope that Mrs Connaughton could receive a much needed lifeline, with the Department of Foreign Affairs providing consular assistance.

Australian Miss Universe contestant Stephanie Kaiser spoke about an accident she was in in 2016 while holidaying in Thailand, also having travel insurance issues.
She was in the water off the coast of Thailand when her jetski was hit side-on by another jetski at 60km/h.
She suffered a broken leg in two places, spinal injuries, and her kneecap and pelvis were fractured.

Her medical insurance stopped paying out after covering her hospital stay and a flight home for surgery, however, the bills are still coming and she has had to sell her car to help pay the costs.
‘If I had known they weren’t going to cover ongoing costs I probably would have gone for a different package,’ she said.
‘You definitely need to read what you’re buying and what it covers,’ she said.
Miss Kaiser’s incident and now Miss Connaughton have prompted experts to remind Australians to check their travel insurance closely.
