Again, I don't know you but I've been following this thread hoping for good news. Our thoughts and support are with you and your family.

What can we do to help?

 

thinking about what notorious just said above... if the worst did happen (and god forbid it wont), would it be an idea to maybe set up a fund for either the famailies involved in this disgusting attack, or a fund to maybe help this sort of thing not happen again.

apologies if it sounds really far fetched, just a thought that could ovbioculy be expanded on.

hope you and your family are coping steff.

how often do you hear failed to appear in court after bail, and has disappeared,

 

I agree with C-o-B,

Donna & Me know Steph personally, have done for quite a few years, we got Scooby from Steph too

Like I have said before, just wish there was something we could do, I know there isn't, but perhaps some kind of fund might be something

 

Can't say how sorry I am to hear that news Steph. We can only hope and pray for a miracle recovery.

Re-lit from me too.

Candle Lit
Fingers crossed

Just read this, thoughts are with you and your family.

 

You're all very kind, but there's nothing any of us can do. Its up to him now. I've been over there today, and from what i can gather, there is very little hope unless a miracle happens. They are saying that his only chance is to remove more of the brain, but if they do that he will be 'a cabbage' for the rest of his life. I get the distinct impression that Pauline is going to have to make a decision in the next few days, on whether or not to switch off the machines. It sounds awful, but I hope that Paul makes that decision for her. Her daughter said to her today 'promise me daddy will live?' How the hell do you reply to that?

 

I am so sorry steffiraf. I've not commented before as I have not really known what to say. If it really is going to end, then you are right, lets hope for the easiest ending. My candle still flickers for the miracle.

Whatever happens, many people's lives will be ruined through this. All because someone got too angry to control themselves.

 

Gutted to read this ...... Really sorry.

 

Edited due to my question being answered elsewhere.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

its thing like this that make me thankful for what i have in life. i havent masses of money, or a flash new car, but i have my health, and a home to live in.

i really really hope that the responsible party for this "act" on him rot in hell.

what gives then the right to do this sort of thing.

 

Unfortunately our wishy washy, tree huggin, liberal, SOFT government.

Rather than stand up and tell them what they are and deal with it, they

prefer to spin, pontificate, and hide behind legislation and useless policy's.

Next time you see jock and his mate Teflon , remember this comforting statement.

"tough on the causes of crime"

and think of this thread..


roll on October ()

Sorry - only just read this thread - what a shocking thing to happen

Have lit a candle and hoping for that miracle to occur.

Please pass on my thoughts and best wishes to your bothers family.

Top Post!

 

I feel for you Steph, I really do

 

I accept that I don't know any of you involved in this truly terrible story but my heart goes out to you anyway.

Our 'government' ought to hang its head in shame.

 

Hi. Again I don't know you and we'll probably never meet but this has hit a nerve with me as well. I live over in Spain and along with other expats here, am desparately sorry for what you are having to go through. The very fact that so many people, strangers, on here are commenting and offering support hopefully offers some consolation that not everybody is scum, and that good does actually outnumber bad. There's many of us here with our fingers crossed and many a candle will be lit tonight for sure.

nice post

 

Hi you dont know me but i wish you all the best, im not a fan of the law establishment but in this case i hope the people who did this get a long time inside.

 

I've only just noticed this thread. I'd heard of the incident on the local radio news, so it seems kind of strange to read of it affecting someone on here, especially being so local. I live just a few miles from Paul (though don't know him) and coincidently only work a couple of miles from where he works too. Something like this makes me feel ashamed to admit to being from this area.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

I hope Steff doesn't mind, but I've posted a link to this on Briskoda.net. All comments so far are of concern and anger.

 

Things not good today. This afternoon the pressure on his brain rose again and his body temperature shot up. He's packed in ice at the moment to try and stabilise him again. This is the worst he's been yet.
To give you some idea of the problems with his brain - normal brain pressure is between 7 and 10(whatever the scale is). Paul's pressure was at 27 yesterday but is currently at 40 Combined with the pneumonia and the temperature its a very dangerous situation.

P.s Matchmaker, i dont mind at all. Thanks everyone for your continuing support, you've been a great source of comfort. When this is all over, I will show Pauline this thread, she'll be as choked as me i'm sure, but amazed as i am by the generosity and sympathy of people who are mostly strangers. Once again, thank you

i've been watching this thread too. lost for words really. my thoughts are with you and the rest of paul's family

 

Dont know what to say Steph, just hope their is some light at the end of the Tunnel for Paul

I know his situation isnt good, and Im sure everyone on here is praying for him to get better

 

things have to get worse before they get better, fingers crossed that this is the worst, and the healing is just starting.

I thinks its very promosing that he's holded on for this long.

Gary

 

Get well soon

In our thoughts
