Very little that can be said that will offer any comfort, although I hope you take some from the support you have here. Folk on here saved my life once, so feel free to pm me should you want to chat about anything.

Thinking of you all...

So Sad.
Try not to play the blame game , or sit there thinking 'If only this, or If only we had done that' . Wont get you anywhere positive.
Be there if you can be for him , and take up some of the offers of support from here.

I've tried to write something helpful several times today but couldn't, got home to my kids and gave them a massive hug( they complained). Times like this you really do realise what is important, hope all goes well, Marcus.

So so saddened by this.. I pray for my own two young sons

If it helps at all I tried to commit suicide in a similar way as a young man and there was absolutely nothing anyone could have done to help..
It's takes an extraordinary and unfathomable state of mind to get to that point..

For what it's worth after the passing of time I have gone on to live a very happy and fulfilling life

Topic starter
 

Pretty tired today, what with one thing and another. Lots of his friends from school have been visiting today which is great to see. One girl had flown back from a university course in Edinburgh for the day, really quite incredible to see what lovely friends he has.

I've also had a load of my friends and relatives visiting, so it's been a fairly constant stream. My wife has spent most of the day there; I've only been there a few hours today.

No real change, he looks a bit better today but that could just be that I'm more used to it. He just lies on his bed, breathing regularly (but of course that's just the machine), stretched out, with a big shaved area on his head with a bolt in the middle (for measuring inter-cranial pressure), and great big pins in his leg to hold his femur together.

I learned today that he avoided fracturing his skull; I'd been assuming he would have done, but apparently not. But he's hit it pretty (i.e. very) hard on something very solid.

At some point I'll need to think about the future, but not right now.

It is tricky to express thoughts sometimes in stark text on a forum.

I really feel for you and your family. Take it one moment at a time for now and just get through the minutes. Minutes turn to hours, hours to days....... You get the picture.

I hope things work out for all of you.

Others have put it better than I could.

My thoughts and prayers, for what little they are worth, are with you and your family and friends.

Time may not heal all, but it will help to smooth over the bumps. I hope it does for you.

I don't generally do praying but I will for you all tonight. Can't promise any results but it's got to be worth a go. Heartfelt best wishes too.

Without wishing to sound selfish, but thanks for the update.

Some things that are posted on here play on your mind all day long and have you hoping that when you log in again, there is some positive news.

We're all right down the pecking order of being informed, but look forward to checking soon and hearing of positive progress.

Best wishes to you all.

I've been thinking all day of what I can say and nothing has come to mind. I don't think there is anything appropriate. I cannot imagine being in the situation you're facing now. My heart goes out to you and your family.
