My second thread. The first is awaiting deletion due to details that were in the thread.

Basically, my brother is in intensive care with multiple stab wounds, he is stable, but critical. So he could go either way.

At the moment it doesn't feel real to me, I feel like I'm in a soap or something! It's very surreal :(

Really hope he gets rid of the feeding tube soon.

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 04/04/2013 20:03

He's hungry constantly, he's a skinny little thing and needs about 3000 calories a day, instead he's only getting 1200 with the bagged stuff!

Sunnywithshowers · 04/04/2013 19:57

I'm sorry to hear that Cunny, it's really crap. I hope the doctors are able to take it out sooner.

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 04/04/2013 19:54

Poor David :( he found out today that he's got to keep his feeding tube in for at least 2 months!!

Sunnywithshowers · 29/03/2013 14:30

Poor David, that's rough. I hope that he's able to eat again soon.

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 29/03/2013 14:14

I've just seen my grandma who told me more about Davids release, turns out he was let out straight away because he can't actually eat he's been given a supply of bagged food, enough to last 28 days. He still has his feeding tube in hanging out his nose!

Horsemad · 29/03/2013 08:56

Great news! Don't overdo the Easter egg eating David!!!

Sunnywithshowers · 28/03/2013 21:23

Whoop! Whoop!

Fantastic news - well done David. And big hugs to you and your family xxx

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 28/03/2013 18:20

He's out! Already! He had his eating test at 3.30 this afternoon and he's home already!

Sunnywithshowers · 27/03/2013 22:30

Good idea Cunny. Poor David, he must be very frustrated (and hungry!).

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 27/03/2013 10:28

Ooh sorry, only just seen this! He's very fed up, he hasn't had an eating test yet! That's tomorrow and hopefully they'll x-ray him then too. He can't wait to get back out.

Think I'm going to ask for this to be moved, I don't want it to go poof and it's due to go soon I think.

MelodyBaker · 24/03/2013 07:16

How is he? I am sorry your family are going through this. It is one of those things you hope will never happen too you , hope your looking after yourself x

Sunnywithshowers · 24/03/2013 01:09

Hi Cunny, how's David? x

ripsishere · 20/03/2013 04:50

I missed your earlier updates.
Scars? pah. Scars are nothing. He is alive.
I bet he isn't so keen on MacD's now.
Well done David, onward and upward.

Sunnywithshowers · 20/03/2013 00:40

That sounds awful Cunny :(

Horsemad · 19/03/2013 23:49

Hi Cunny, hope David continues to improve.

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 19/03/2013 23:34

I saw his back I thought his front was bad enough, he's got a 4-5" scar across his throat and a few scars on his chest (a couple from the knife but most are from drains etc), but omg his back! There's about 13 separate stab scars all over his back :( it looks an awful mess even though they've long since healed.

Sunnywithshowers · 19/03/2013 23:25

I'm sorry to hear that Cunny, I hope that David is well again soon. x

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 19/03/2013 23:08

He is so fed up, went to visit him this evening. He's back out of ICU now and onto the normal ward. He's got a swallow test tomorrow and they're going to xray him as he eats to see where exactly the food is going. The reason for his chest infection wasn't actually the bit of sick that went into his lungs. The actual reason is that even though he was able to eat food and pass it ok, little bits were going the wrong way and ended up in his lungs! The McD's just finished him off

xxDebstarxx · 13/03/2013 17:54

Come on David, you can do it!

He seems like such a fighter Cunny I hope he gets better soon.

Horsemad · 13/03/2013 17:48

Oh no

Really hoping it is sorted soon and he's home again before too long.

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 13/03/2013 17:33

Well David's freedom was short lived, he's back in ICU now. Mum picked him up from hospital and treated him to McDonalds (the nurse said he could eat anything as long as he chewed really well) and he was fine but late last night he started throwing up a lot (he was at his wifes house) and DW rang my mum who told her to ring an ambulance. Turns out a bit of sick got in his lungs and he's now sedated, on the ventilator with a chest infection :(

MsFanackerPants · 12/03/2013 14:57

Wonderful news. Bet you never thought a McDonald's meal would be good for someone's health!

TheCunnyFuntIsAGrittersFiancee · 12/03/2013 14:44

Well he left hospital at half 12, his first stop was McDonalds :o

escorpion · 12/03/2013 13:31

Have been following this thread for a while and just wanted to say how pleased I am for you and your family. What great news that David has made an excellent recovery.
