Friend on a life support machine!!

63 replies

Got a call from a friend today to tell me that my dh and I friend was in hospital on a life support machine, we rushed up to hospital.

He has a fractured skull, bleading in the brain and is clinically brain dead.

They did not know if he had fallen or been hit - it turns out that 3 independant witnesses have came forward to say that they seen him being attacked at 1am this morning.

They are going to do a test at 6am and them again at 7am if there is no brain activity they are talking about switching the life support machine off.

Does anyone have any encouraging stories to keep me going during the night.

Sorry for posting such a horrible story but looking for some light!!

Didn't go past today, but was at La vita on Sunday tea-time so was close by.

I'm sorry that this has been delayed- it will seem to be going on forever for everyone. You are being such supportive friends to his dw, and I know it is hard for you too.

17 year olds! To have devestated so many lives- sad.
