Info on Skelstar

[Lissa]

Cant stay away. I am going to visit Sean tonight, about 5pm or 6pm. If there is anything that you want me to give him or pass on to him let me know.

Thanks for the messages guys!!

[Riff Raff]

Yep please keep the updates coming Mel. I regularly check to see how Sean's doing. Big to you

[Okey Dokey]

Thanks, Lissa. I "know" you and Skelstar through kb and appreciate the updates. It sounds like you are getting good practical support from friends and family on the scene, but I hope it cheers you and Skel up a little to know there are others, further away, who also think of you and what you are going through every day.

Went to see Sean last night, spent quite alot of time with him, and was amazed at how alert he is, but he is still confused, and I wonder just how much he is going to remember of the next few weeks, if anything at all. Hes making plans, wants to move, he wants to go visit people.

He would love people to visit, but I am unsure how many he should have, so we are just asking him, or waiting for him to ask us who he would like to see. Drew and Vicki went to see him last night, kept pestering me to get them there, he had a good laugh with them too.

Mel, Unfortunatley as the Docs have probably told you that he will be confused for sometime as the brain recovers. I didnt even remember my wifes name or that i had 3 kids! I dont remember much about ICU or the first 2 weeks in the ward, good really as i had a week of tourettes (but i got my own room!!!). Sleeping is a major part of the brains recovery, i am 6 months since mine and still have to have nana sleeps during the day. Apparently the brain only repairs when its asleep. Dont know if you have been asked but at Middlemore i took part in a clinical test for brain injury where they gave me Insulin as they found it had good effects on recovery for the brain. May be worth while asking. Please pass my regards onto Sean and our thoughts are with you all.
Take care

Well I went for a visit last night on the way home from work and bumped into Str8jacket, Drew, Flame and the k'dogs.

Sean quite liked all the attention and put on quite a show but unfortunately he's a stubbon bugger and refuses to admit he needs to rest, Well his mates, we all let him down a bit last night and we all should have insisted we not hang around for so long. Sorry Sean.

The Nurses are PISSED! Sean didn't sleep well last night and was quite agitated. He needs rest as that is the only thing that allows him to heal. So from now on its by appointment only.

Dad's put his foot down and said that its close friends only and now you have to ring him first..If you don't have his number and considder yourself a "close friend" then PM me, I'll give you his details.

[Trudes]

Fair enough FJ.

Yeah, I feel really bad. I really hope that he is OK. Sorry Sean, Lissa and family!

[Colapop]

As much as I really want to go and visit I'm mindful that Sean does need his rest and there are plenty enough people coming and going. My thoughts are with both Mel and Sean...

[Dave-]

well wishes here dude.

[Lissa]

(Copied from other thread). Apparently Sean was very restless in the night, and something happened, not sure yet, but I think he may have tried to get out of bed. Visits are now by appointment, as I know you all want to make him laugh he actually isn't allowed very much stimulation.

Hes pretty pig headed about wanting to move, so I will sort him out tomorrow.

[Pex Adams]

Drew - you better hurry up with the bike, it looks like he's in a hurry to get back on it!

[Swoop]

Hey guys. Perhaps the goodwill and wonderful thought/actions should be saved for when he gets home? Those are the times when visitors will be very welcome and will help pass the day.
Great to see so much enthusiasm, but an angry nurse is a thing to avoid...
