craftyhunnypie Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Many many hugs to you & your family. This is awful news & to have it happen twice is not fair. Whatever happened to the so called 'big man' watching over us all? I hope you can take some comfort knowing we are all here for you. Hope you can sort flights.

Shirl Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I'm not flying out. The doctors have upgraded his chances to 70% survival but he will def have brain damage. At the moment no-one is allowed to see him so that his brain is not stimulated. My dad who was out there with him (but not in the car) is flying home tomorrow. My brother has his own business and was due to fly home tomorrow too. My dad is going to see if he can keep the business ticking over but I suspect my brother wasn't the most organised. We'll be going out in about a week whenever the docs say he can have visitors. I can't believe we can't see him. He could be dead in a week. It isn't like we can just pop in a car and get there if he gets unstable. The distance makes getting info really difficult. His mobile phone has disappeared and worringly O2 let me cancel the SIM with no evidence required. I just gave his name and telephone number. I have to try and get a replacement SIM card tomorrow. I hope it's that easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
