Purrs and prayers request UPDATE
Christina Websell wrote:
Thank you all so much for your purrs and prayers for Chris. I have pasted all your replies into a mail to Margi tonight. I hope it will give her a little comfort to know that Chris is being purred and prayed for all over the world. I am not sure that the medics at the football match got to him in enough time. They probably thought he'd gone down from a tackle and was playing to the crowd. By the time they realised he was not going to get up it may have been too late for his brain. They administered mouth to mouth resuscitation and CPR and when the paramedics arrived they had a defibrillator which started his heart again, but very erratically. The latest update from Margi is below. To be frank, it still does not sound good to me but I have no experience around brain injury. Is there anyone here who has? ............. Dear All Its 10.30pm and I am tempted to leave this and go to bed but I know that some of you will be glad to get a little more good news. They tried to wake Chris again this morning with improved results. snip We are sending lots and lots of purrs for Chris, Polonca and Soncek |

Purrs and prayers request: NEW UPDATE
Purrs and prayers are working. Please keep them up. Today: ----------------- Dear All, Today Chris was able to sit propped up in bed and managed to eat a couple of tubs of ice cream that the nurse fed to him. The oxygen mask has been replaced with a tube that sits in the bottom of his nostrils so he is now breathing for himself with the aid of a bit of extra oxygen supplied from the tube. When I left tonight he was listening to Reeba McIntyre on CD and tapping the rhythm out on the bed. He had quite a few family visit today and he was laughing at some of their stories. He enjoyed looking at family photos and remembered being in each of the places. By the end of the day he had spoken a few words even though we weren't able to understand what he said. It wasn't that they weren't real words but his throat is so sore his voice is very gruff and quiet. He gave Bambi a kiss and sipped on water. He is still in bed and obviously we are not able to tell how mobile he will be. Some of his movements are slow and he sometimes he looks a bit surprised that his hands don't move as quickly as he expects but his progress is remarkable, much faster than we thought. There is still some prayers left to say but the miracle that we all prayed for is unfolding before our very eyes. We are expecting an all singing, all dancing Chris tomorrow. Love as always Margi ___________ As always, the purrs and prayers work. Keep those P&P's coming please. Look what they've done, already. Thank you all so much. Tweed |

Tweed Tweed, I am so terribly sorry to hear this news. You have multiple purrs en route Mega blasting your cousin's & all of the family's way. I thought I'd better read the whole thread before responding. To start from 90% oxygen on the 15th, to 10% in a few days is almost a miraculous discovery, I assure you. I can also say with full confidence that I think your cousin is doing really well.. You asked anyone who had been through a similar situation to respond. It's not quite the same, but close enough for me to be able to tell you that he is doing well. Jack, my youngest son was born @26/40 (14 weeks early!!). He started on 100% oxygen, & on the second day after birth, he had a brain bleed (a stroke!) It took over 7 weeks weeks to get Jack to the point where he could cope in ambient oxygen. The normal air that we breath is 7%, so to be able to go from 90%- 10% in that short space is very encouraging. It starts with intubation @ 90%, right down until they think the patient can cope independently, when they put them on C-Pap which is a type of ventilation that kicks in if they forget to breath, then it goes down to nasal cannulas, which is where he seems to be right now. Unlike your auntie Margi, because Jack was a baby,(2LB 6OZ), we had no idea what to expect, & Jack was in no position to explain how he felt. It took us years to be sure that he had no permanent brain damage. To add even more worry, he stopped breathing on me @ home on his due date(DEC 2nd 06). I started CPR, & managed to keep going until an ambulance arrived. He still wasn't breathing, but God was smiling on us, & the ambulance man was able to aspirate the vomit which stopped him breathing on his own. Again, we had another spate of wondering whether this had blown any chance of recovery that we hoped for, because once more he was 12 minutes without breathing. Another 6 weeks in hospital later, we were allowed to take him home on portable oxygen. All of his baby checks were a real concern for fear of brain damage, but as luck & love would have it, jack is a very hyperactive child. Yes, it did take a little longer to teach him to walk, talk & everything else you would expect, but we did get there!! I have a very good feeling that your cousin will be OK. I understand the hospital giving you cautious good news, because they are not able to give guarantee's. However, the news that is filtering through sounds very optimistic. I think the hardest thing will be your cousin's frustration at not being able to do the things he used to do, straight way. It will be hard work, but well worth the recovery. Expect it to take months, rather than weeks, & I think you will find that he will re-learn most of his skill's. I really do send you heart felt prayers & purrs, because I understand how anxious you all must be feeling. Warm regards, Sheelagh "o" |
