I'm sorry to post such a 'downhearted' thread but I really could do with a hug :weep:

My brother was rushed to hospital this wee and now is on Life Support. He was at work when his neck started to swell, luckily his Area Manager decided to drive him to the hospital rather than wait for the paramedics - that decision saved his life. He walked into A&E but then collapsed. He is critical and as yet we do not know what the problem is. I feel I am living a dream, Christmas Trees, presents and the ICU.

I'm looking after his little girl tomorrow and I know it's going to be so hard if she asks where her mummy and daddy are. I've tried to arrange a fun day for her, doing all the kind of things we usually do, but I know my mind will be in that ICU all day.

I believe in miracles and that's what Im hoping for this Christmas.

Love to you all xx

Thank you all so much for your hugs and kind thoughts and words

I wish I had some good news to tell you all but the doctors are worried that he hasnt responded yet. He is off all sedation and is not reacting at all. I am praying it just means he still has some in his system so cant move even if he wanted to.

Once again I am sorry this post is at such a happy time but I knew I could count on all of you for support.

Thank you all and I'm praying that Miracles really do occur at Christmas xxx

Thank you all so much for your support.

He had to have another MRI today as well as another emergency operation but the surgeons cant seem to stop the bleeding so they are going to transfer him to a specialist hospital in London. He is back on sedation and now critical again.

I am still trying so hard to believe in that Christmas Miracle.

Love to you all and have a Safe and Happy Christmas

Take care

Pickle,

My thoughts are with you at this time - don't stop believing in the miracle, and don't let go of hope. Watching and waiting are best done with both of these.

And, please, don't stop posting. This is what we are all here for, to support one another - especially at times like this.

lots of love to you and your family xxx

I just wanted to say a really BIG thank you for all the hugs xx

My brother is still in ICU, but today he responded to his wife by squeezing her hand. He is still heavily sedated but when the sedation is reduced he is able to communicate by blinking :yesyes: . The specialists think they have found out what the problem is/was so he is having an angiogram next week to confirm the diagnosis.

He still has a very long way to go but I know with his detemination he will get there.

Once again, thank you for all the hugs and support

Take care
