I need a hand to hold please - part 2

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 :(

Smashing. I can't tell you how pleased I am.

Not half as pleased as we are rips :o

I can imagine. Well done both the NHS, your family and most of all, your brother.

Oh FFFs, both was wrong but you know what I mean.

Yes I do :o

Tough bugger, your brother! Well done to him and you and the lovely old NHS.

Extra extra! Read all about it! HUGE NEWS!!!! MASSIVE NEWS!!!

He came off the ventilator for a bit today and was fine :) he even had a little drink! He is half whispering half mouthing words and can converse. He asked my mum to take a photo of him and put it on his facebook page. I saw it, it's amazing, he's sat up in bed looking round and smiling. The doctors are utterly amazed at how much progress he's made over the past week.

He now remembers EVERYTHING about the attack though.

WOOHOO!

That's fantastic news Cunny

Sounds amazing, glad docs are taking good care of him! Baby steps though, he'll want to be up and off :)

Excellent news Cunny

FANTASTIC NEWS Cunny, sending hugs to you and yours xx

Woohoo!

Such good news

Wishing David lots of strength for the road ahead.

We were going to see him yesterday but we ended up spending 4-5 hours scrubbing blood off almost every surface in our house :(

Blood? What happened Cunny?

Why [Shock]

My dog somehow cut the end of his tail, it bled like buggery and he's a greyhound, with a very long, waggy tail. It was ridiculous! All over the walls, the furniture, the white dining chairs, DD's toys and her clothes that were drying on the airer.

Oh your poor pooch! I hope he's okay, and you're also okay?

My lovely cat cut his mouth during a fit a couple of years ago, there was blood everywhere. You have my sympathy.

Hurray for your brother.

Eek on the dog tail massacre!

Oh I'm fine thank you, just disappointed that I didn't get to visit David. The dog is fine, just miserabe because he has a bandage on his tail so to stop him chewing it he has to wear his muzzle. He needs the bandage because if he wags his tail and knocks his tail the scab just falls off and he redecorates again

Poor dog, but wow to David. Good lad.

Just at the hospital now, it's amazing! He's sat in bed smiling and laughing and making jokes :) he can't talk so he has to mouth everything he's saying, we could do with a lip reader! I brought DD (20mo) today, it cheered him up quite a bit as he's pretty fed up. He's even managed to write a birthday card for my mum, that made her cry. It's her birthday today and we're off to Frankie and Benny's soon for lunch which will be nice.

I'm so pleased for all of you Cunny. What a lovely birthday present for your mum :)

Have a wonderful lunch, and best wishes to David. He sounds awesome.

So pleased read about the improvements David is making and how wonderful for your mum. What a fantastic birthday present she has had.
