Just happened to spot your post n wanted to send u a virtual hug.

Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.

Thank you all, just an update dad is still on a ventilator not able to breathe on his own on lots of different ABX and is still sedated. But they where able to take the chest drain out and I hope it stays out when I go tomorrow, he is no worse but no better

my children want to come and see him tomorrow I’m a bit nervous about taking them as they are 5 and 7 but the nurses say we can bring them! But intensive care is a scary place
