Not good new regarding Peter

MadEyeMisdee · 15/07/2007 09:17

I am sobbing as i type this.

Peter is very ill. there is some damage to his brain, there is a real possibility he wont recover completly this time. The peter I married appears to have gone. Sometimes he comes back, its very distressing.

Hospital team are having a meeting on thursdasy to discuss emergency transplant list. He may be suspended for a few weeks, but as yet we dont know.

I have been told he may not get through transplant as he is very very ill. but for now we need to try and stay positive. Its very hard.

I havent told the children, i cant.

I want a happy ending, but its so far out of reach.

Misdee - I don't know if you'll read this, there's so many posts here now. We've crossed paths only a few times but I just wanted to say how sorry I was to read your post.

In my work as an OT I have worked with a fair few stroke survivors - don't lose hope, recovery is slow but achievable. I will be praying for Peter to be put on the emergency transplant list, he and your family really deserve a break.

I know one of your main efforts has been to get more people to sign up to the donor list and I just wanted to tell you that it was one of your threads that got me off my arse (after lots of dithering) to sign up. I'm only one person, I'm sure you've inspired many more and you and Peter will have laid the foundations to save more people's lives.

So sorry to hear your latest news Misdee and I'm sending you all my thoughts, best wishes and hugs and lots of good luck for Peter. Though like some others I haven't been a regular on many of your threads, I do follow them and I have signed up for donorship because of you. You are strong and you can do this, with help and support from everyone. Peter and your girls are lucky to have you there for them and we all admire you so much. Hang on in there.

Thanks for putting the Paypal address up, sgk. I hope Misdee does decide to take the contributions. Donations are entirely voluntary, those who do not feel it is appropriate do not have to donate.
