This is a story mates Ex- wife's daughter.
She wrote this on Facebook today.

[93patrol]

That's terrible Mego absolutely devastating. Thoughts and prayers go out to you and to them

[MudRunnerTD]

That's no good at all Mick, best wishes and thoughts are with the little one mate.

[krbrooking]

No parent should ever have to endure that sort of thing let alone the child. Best wishes and prayers to all ppl involved.

That made my heart sink. No parent should ever have to hear this news. My heart goes to your mate's Ex wife and her family. Truly heart wrenching.

[Hodge]

Having a young one at home, reading that just kicked me in the guts. I literally went picked him up and gave him a good cuddle.
All the best to the family and all people within. And I really hope the oncologist stuffed up.

[BigRAWesty]

X2 with Hodge. Mine are in bed but it made me stop and think.

Condolences to the family in pain.

If you don't mind me asking what condition does the little fighter have?

[Gecko17]

Having lost my parents and 2 In-Laws to cancer as well as numerous other relations, I hate to say it but it still wouldn't even come close to the pain I would feel if it was one of my kids. I am so sorry for your mates daughter and her family and friends, Mego.

[Sir Roofy]

Thats so sad why do kids have to go through this agony
i feel for the little one sorry to hear mick

[Bob]

x 2 with Roofy's comment

No Parent should have their children die before them

[Robo]

Thats sad to hear.
Just a thought you bunch down that way seem to be a fairly tight bunch.
why not if the little one is still up to it.

get together raise some dollars and,
put on a weekend get away 4x4 experience for the little one and family.
normality goes a long way for lifting spirits when times a tough.

yeah It may sound like a tough thing to do.
who's going to take em in their car,
"what if it was my child".
going out of your way will not only put a smile on the little ones face, but her whole family.
you'll feel the better for it to.

local church, hospital, doctor, ronald McDonald house could maybe point you in the directions needed to put on a really successful event.

" possibility of an annual charity event run for the benefit of our children ".

[gaddy]

Feel for you and the family , it's a tuff time , we had a rough start with our second one , the wife new something was not right , as they do , went and had a scan done , then began the most terrifying time of my life , there was a tumor the size of large man's fist on her tail bone , her hips dislocated and her knees under her arm pits , had more specialists then I new existed around , they whipped her out , then into surgery , alot of hours later they had removed her tail bone and the tumor , and straightened her out , all the bits around her pelvis had to be put back in position , a couple months in neonatal intensive care and 4 years later we have a happy as Larry daughter who takes great pride in her custom built butt .
I have the upmost admiration of the people that worked on her , ( they are amazingly strong and gifted )
It makes you realise whats important in life , the things you see in neonatal intensive care are truly heart breaking , as we meet a few couples that never got the chance to even hold their kids ,

I saw this thread last night and was speechless. I could not even consider the possibility of one of my brood being taken from us. My heart goes out to the family and my thoughts are with them.

[Avo]

I dislike sad stories..even more so when children are involved.wishing the families all the best and hope they can stay strong.

[threedogs]

if you need cars to take them on a drive in the bush to go fishing, anything yell out.
Never good when little one involved, thoughts with the family

She is 5 and has DIPG (a brain tumor).

[sooty_10]

So sorry to hear that Mego :( Nothing more tragic when little ones are afflicted with such devastating conditions. Thoughts are with your mate and his family.

[SonOf]

Reading that is just heart wrenching. Sincerest wishes to them mate, no parent should ever have to fairwell their child like that.
Really brings into perspective just how fragile and life is and that we need to be thankful for the time we have and get annoyed at the silly little things.

That's a great idea Robo. Mego up to you mate if you want to run something like this for us Mexicans and you or I can manage it to make sure some support can go your mates way.

I know we are all a busy at the moment but don't mind if you want to take charge and we can incorporate this into a social catch up to support your friend.

[megatexture]

verry sad indeed and gives me a ill feeling to even think about if i had this news with my daughter or son.
and you would think facebook would make a dislike button for stuff like this.. kinda wierd 6 people liked it.

[Rickie3]

Its taken me all day to open this thread as I knew i wasnt going to be good, reading this is so heart wrenching, and has brought me to tears, as I have a young daughter myself, your pain is our pain, my deepest sympathys to those who are related, this is so terrible,just really dont know what to say, lets all pray for a miracle.

[@GUte]

MM that's so, so sad beyond comprehension.

A very close mate of mine Mick lost his 5 YO son Chase mid to late last year to a brain tumour after being diagnosed three months earlier.

Having to go through what they had to knowing the little fella's fate was the most tragic thing I had ever heard of. The human finds reserves not thought possible that others would never experience otherwise.

Mego, please pass on condolences to the family mate.

Al.

[Dave_H]

That's terrible news, my condolennces goes out to all involved. i can't even comprehend what they would be going through, i have 3 daughters myself and would not know how to cope with something like this. All the best.

[DX grunt]

I'm sure there are many memories, past and present, that will be cherished and carry on into eternity.

Live in the moment and make every second count.

My love and prayers go out to all.

Rossco

[Patrol1990]

She is 5 and has DIPG (a brain tumor).

That is just terrible. I say definitely organise something to make the rest of her life absolutely epic. Every child deserves love and attention, but she deserves something truly special. Once again, Mine and my family's heart go out to her and her family.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Although we don't talk much anymore, they recently have had many fundraisers for her and recently come back from Disneyland and a Gold Coast holiday.
Money is not a concern for them.
I asked if they wanted to be taken on a 4wd outing and bluntly said "No Way".

I just feel bad cos we haven't really spoken since my mates divorce 13-14 years ago.

[threedogs]

don't feel bad , that just the sad side of human nature,
you have offered the olive branch you cant do more than that.
It must be cant put it words but terrible for them.
went through this with my sisters daughter who died at 5yo.
Never good and sometimes things are said in the heat of the moment.
prayers are all we can offer sadly
Come around and have a few JDs

[TPC]

Like a few others, I had read this and just didn't know what to say.
Loosing a child would have to be the worst thing anybody could ever experience and I consider myself lucky that my kids and grandkids are so healthy.
I have seen friends and family die from cancer but never a child and I hope I never do.
Condolences to all.

[Gecko17]

I hope someone's looking after you too Mego.... This can't be easy for you either mate...

[MEGOMONSTER]

Like I said this is my mates ex wife's which they divorced 13-14 Yrs ago and it's her child not my mates.
Haven't really seen her since the divorce.

[Robo]

Ok,
so doing something positive from our perspective 4x4 weekend getaway seems to be off the table for this little one.
All the same still bad news.
A lump in my throat gave me a scare some time back
My wife's sister has gone through leukaemia as a child and twice tumour on the brain later as a adult.,
life's to short.

Point being, recon we as a group could do something and donate the proceeds to a worthy cause.
OUR KIDS.
even if your to far away to physically participate, donations still count all the same.

Very true, I have also found out that they are not as good of a position with money as I first thought.
They have both stopped working to be with their daughter and that's why all the fundraising has been going on.
Although I don't think a trip will be on the cards but perhaps a small fundraiser would be the next best thing.

[menace 2]

I hope your friends get through this mego...it will be a struggle and a half for them and anyone close to them...I can feel their thoughts and feelings of loneliness ..they will need friends later.....I lost my first little girl to cancer..my wishes and hopes to them that they are strong enough and now is the time that miracles should be saved to use for the little one ....cheers

Recently had a friend in SA have a really bad accident where is has been in a coma for over a month now with suspected brain damage, suspected disabilities.
Has not woken since the accident but has had twitching moments whilst in a coma.
Docs have now stopped all visitation to stop any brain stimulation until swelling of the brain is down to an acceptable level.

He was running towards a beach and jumped off a little ledge onto the beach sand to the water.
The so called little ledge ended up being a 10 metre drop.
We were shown photos from both angles from where he jumped and from where he landed.
They are not the same.
From where he jumped looks like a metre drop to the sand. Looking back well over ten metres sheer drop.

Moral of the story, to be super careful, as things aren’t always as they seem.

For those who are interested, he has woken from his coma and come good considering.
Can sit up and talk a little.
Fully coherent and will be sent to rehab shortly.
Great news all round.

Jesus Mego!!! Sorry to hear that mate.

Your biggest problem will be that there ain't many Elephants on the donor registry mate. You have a Giant Heart brother and this could surely only be found in a greater mammal.

Will they chase just a heart or heart and lungs mate.??

Please keep us informed bud, good luck. Once you are the $6million dollar man you need to see you around the fire mate.

Hello all it’s Big Mick

Just letting everyone know I have been transplanted a healthy new heart on Aug 20th
Had lots of complications
Chest was reopened 3 times in my 5 week stay in Intensive care unit
Once for the transplant
Once for severe internal bleeding
And once for a giant blood clot the size of a small rockmelon
Needed to get defibrillated again and I was conscience again Ouch
Had a drain put in for about 2 weeks
Then had severe fluid build up in my lung and heart sacs so into theatre again to put two more drains as well as the sacs having a window cut out to move fluid freely between the two sacs
I couldn’t eat got down to 79.8 kilos
I look like I’m from a Jewish concentration camp
Home a couple weeks now and only now am I starting to feel better
Getting there day by day
It has certainly been a very hard journey for us both
Fingers crossed I continue moving forward with recovery with no more set back
Sternum still not healed properly yet which is causing lots of discomfort
Otter than all that the heart it self seems to be working perfectly with no issues with the heart itself
