To read that Andrew is still fighting hard is heartening, and for the doctors to say they see an improvement is a testament of his toughness. You and yours haven't been far from our thoughts, Tony.

Im sitting here with my moonshine wondering how good my life is to realise the struggles and unfortunate situations others go through. I often wonder why some get spared and others go through hell.
Tony, my thoughts are with you buddy, we can only wish for the best outcome possible.
The whole forum is with you buddy

We had another long and anxious day today. He had been having fluid buildup alongside his lung that was causing some problems so they decided to fit a drain today. This turned out to be a major procedure that took 3hrs with a few problems like rising CO2 and elevated heart rate but he came through it. They had give him drugs to paralyze him for the procedure. He is now back in his room and hooked up to his bank of monitors and ventilator, when we left the hospital his figures looked better and stable. I have spent so much time in the hospital I am begining to understand a lot of what they are looking at and what is and is not acceptable so each time I go in I always check it all out first. The doctors keep saying there is still little chance but they do not know how determined my son is to survive.

Been through a similar experience and it had a positive ending so stay positive because people can and do come back from such challenges - be strong, your family needs to you be.

He is a strong fella, as he's been fighting this far. I wish him all the best and strength.
I'm also grateful for the health system we have in our country.
We are still living in a lucky country as we don't usually end up with hundreds of thousands of medical bills after a life threatening situation like this. I hope I'm right about that.

The public health system in Australia is fantastic, unfortunately there were only two surgeons in Australia that were willing to perform the complicated surgery required and both only operated in private hospitals so there were considerable costs accumulated. He is now in the RPA which is a public hospital. The staff in RPA ICU are incredibly skilled and very caring. The little girls have become very popular with the nurse's, when they visit the nurse's are always coming over to talk to them. On a few ocasions I have seen the nurses tear up when they see the girls cuddling their daddy. We had one nurse that put together a load of toys and dvd's for the girls to use and dropped them off to the motel we were staying in.Originally Posted by dom14

Now I'm crying, too. These are the people we should count as celebrities and super stars.
