Can I ask a favour.

Re: Sincere best wishes to your nephew

Good luck to him with his recovery and also to his family.

 

Consider it done

 

Thoughts are with him, you and the family pal.. hope he keeps fighting

 

Update - last night was hard, there were issues and a couple of times we were awoken with updates. The pressure on the brain was too much to continue today so he has undergone surgery as a "last resort". This has been successful but he is nowhere near out of the woods yet. There will be long-term damage if he survives; my sister insists she has taught him to walk and talk once before - she is quite happy to do it again.
I have just left hospital for a couple of hours and today has been tough. I kept thinking of Humey and "how the **** did he step on a pitch again" ??? Hope Humey had the same excellent technical team my nephew has had; how bloody good have they been and where would we be ??? Thanks for the support, I knew I could count on you lot.

All the best. It's amazing what recovery powers the human body has. Thoughts with you all.

 

Hi all - I have a bit of positive news ........ just typed it out on FB so copied / pasted here but I just wanted to share.

Well after 13 days or so its about time I gave a positive update, and am proud to say I have tears in my eyes as I type. I called tonight on my way home from work and Dan was awake. Not only awake he was laid in bed sideways kicking the sidebars of his bed. He smiled at me, he high-5'd me with his little white boxing gloves. I told him to stop kicking the bed and kick me instead - he did this and nearly kicked me into the window behind me. The smile was amazing, and he repeated this on demand. I helped the nurse get him back into position and he knew what we were doing and sort of shuffled his way to help us. I told him how proud I was and told him he needed to rest. I asked him to close his eyes and he did just that and fell fast asleep within seconds. It was one of those inspirational half hours and I've shared it as best I can.
In reality, it wasn't the "real" Dan - he was almost child-like in appearance. HOWEVER, he has been awake for only 24 hours after about 12 days in a coma / sedation. It's a small step on a long road but wow, after all the downers that first week it's a step I'll always remember.
His GCS score today is 11. GCS is basically 3 to 15 .......... 15 is you and me in normal awake / alert state. 3 is basically dead. He spent most of last week hovering around 4 / 5 so I think 11 is fantastic.
A good day today ! Still got to face the fact he is in ICU / HDU but there were times when I thought today wouldn't happen.
He needs rest now, and family (esp his Mum and Sisters), so please, please please, no requests to visit just yet. I'm sure you understand this and you can be sure you will all know when you are allowed.

 

Pleased to hear he's doing well. Sounds like he is well on the way recovery.

 

Great news.

 

Hi andy that's fantastic news, it may only be a small step but it's a step in the right direction, please keep posting his progress

Thanks for that Andy, great to hear..

 

wishing you all the very best of luck, stay strong. pc
