Chris 8886 - good news

[Littlepeahead]

He's been given the all clear. His parents saw the Consultant today and the outcome is the best.

Chris picked up a stomach virus in Vietnam - I told him not to have the dog curry - and the virus played havoc with his immune system. It took a couple of weeks but eventually his immune system went into overdrive and it could have chosen any muscle in his body but unfortunately it hit his heart muscle which then caused the fibrillation and his heart stopped five times in all.

Almost all his tubes and drips have been taken out and he then had his first meal. He's even stopped kicking the nurses.

The virus has now gone but he is still left with the aftermath but there will be no long term damage to the brain or heart. I am concerned he has suffered some mental trauma as is his mum said Chris has been listening to Phil Collins on his ipod. His brain scans came back OK so I cannot think of an explanation for this disturbing behaviour and suggested they knock him out again until his taste in music improves.


It will be over a week before he is classed fit to fly but he should be back home before the end of the month.

thats really good news, glad all clear has come! - virus' are scary things, they can be the cause of many nasty things!

Lmao Thats fantastic news and has really made my day.

As for Phil Collins, well I will be having words with the little scamp.

Great news

Phill Collins though...

Good news

I'm worried. They have obviously missed something quite critical. I mean how can they possibly say everything is going to be okay when it is quite obvious there is some serious brain damage?

Listening to Phil Collins has got to be proof enough there are some underlying fundamental issues which need to resolved. I say he should stay there until this virus has been eradicated. Terrible news. I am so sad.

Now if she had said 'To bring him out of coma we put on some Phil Collins and he then came round and stamped on the ipod until it stopped' then I could have understood it.

If he starts asking for 'Best Of Celine Dion' or 'Michael Bolton's Greatest Hits' I'm going to fly straight out there and put him out of his misery with my bare hands. It's the kindest thing to do.

Thats great news
But lay off Phil collins, he's a great musician
