    Thinking of you.

    Keep us posted and keep positive. Take care.

    my heart is in my mouth -the family have been called in to say goodbye, i cant get there because of the children and i dont have the car atm.my husband has gone to the hospital with a picnic / coffee etc. so at least one of us is there.

    IF he lasts another 6 hours he might survive. a consultant is on his way from Oxford apparantly.

    he's had his spleen removed however this is not the main problem now- he's had 14 units of blood and his blood pressure has been so low causing the health problems which he now faces, everything seems to be shutting down.

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.
