Very nice fella, best wishes to him. Hopefully the thread won't be hijacked by the 'put's into perspective...' brigade. Hang in there fella.

Hope he pulls through with no lasting effects.
|

By:
Frenchay specialises in head injuries I believe, so he's in the best possible hands. Hope he makes a rapid and complete recovery.
|
|
By:
Dr McGoldrick "He(JT) took a crashing fall and was conscious afterwards, but then had difficulty breathing so was put in an induced coma." "He was put on a spinal board as we didn't know what injuries he may have and he has been taken to hospital for a full body scan."
Dr McGoldrick is currently visiting Davy Russell and organising him to get home to be operated on and should know more about JT at apx 9pm. |
