Truther 1,579 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's a hard blow to take mate, but as said the doctors aren't always right, fingers crossed eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Thanks for the kind words lads. Doesn't look good. Doctor told his mother he probably wouldn't make it through tomorrow. Also got hypothermia from laying there for who knows how long and at least one, possibly 2 fractures to his skull. FFS he was strong as an ox and just the sort of friend anyone would want. It's heartbreaking to see a lump of man lying there like a baby, Considering the cops "don't suspect foul play" they're taking it pretty seriously. Flat and car park are cordoned off as a crime scene, his phone has been kept as evidence and they are searching all nearby cctv footage for anything. All sounds very suspicious to me. He is also the most stubborn man I ever met, Let's hope that stubbornness gets him through. Hate to try and guess what's happened here mate but 2 skull fractures.? Sounds very like he has been attacked.? Had he been at the pub or anything?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

socks 32,253 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Dave when I was 14 my youngest brother who was eleven at the time fell off a rope swing and shattered the back of his skull on a rock ... As luck happened one of the leading neurologists in the country at the time was visiting Morriston hospital to open a new wing and scrubbed up and operated on him .... nine hours later the prognosis was 20% chance of him surviving ... He had stitches inside his scalp and and had to have part of his brain scraped clean and had 160 stitches to put his head back together ... Today he his a manager of a double glazing factory ... There is hope for everybody mate ... Keep the faith ....... 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,501 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 All sounds suspicious eh mate. Can only wish you the best mate, really hope there's improvement and he pulls through it. The first 24hrs are critical, as I said we were told the worst at first, the swelling of the brain was so bad. Stay positive mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rake aboot 4,929 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 My mates lad was in a car crash a few months ago. 18 yrs old and in a coma with a broken neck, shattered vertebrae collapsed lungs, brain injury from deceleration, plus all the other crash injuries you normally get. The hospital wrote him off and reckoned he wouldn`t make it 24hrs. And if he did he would have severe brain damage. He got his collar off last month and I was chatting to him at my gate the other day while he was out to buy fags. You never know Dave. Fingers crossed bud. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
