    A quick update:

    Some good news, the family has all arrived in Edinburgh in the early hours of this morning (our time).

    SIS's FIL is responding to voices, and is still stable, they are going to try to bring him out of the coma on Friday, if all continues along the same path

    Thankyou all for you prayers and messages.

    I only just saw this, sending lots of

    This happened to my nana about 20 years ago. There was a tear in her aorta and they needed to replace the whole things. Well she only passed away last year from a stroke. Her heart kept going quite strong for over 20 years, she had regular check ups just to keep an eye on it.

    Just wanted to let you know there are some positives about having the aorta worked on, and another 20 years of happy and healthy living for my nana. I don't know much about the other damage that was suffered, but hopefully it will also fix in time

    Again, lots of

    Unfortunately todays news is not good

    He had an MRI overnight ad there appears to be very little brain activity. Tomorrow is Father's Day in the United Kingdom, so they have decided to spend fathers day with him, and decide after that what the next course of action is, we believe they will still wait to see if he comes out of the coma.

    Thankyou all for your prayers

    Thankyou so much for your message and prayers.

    About 1 hour ago the machines were turned off, he is holding on, but we hope that he find peace very soon. I wish I were able to give my sister a big hug right now, as her Hubby is there with his dad (she was not able to fly due to having a stroke a few years ago and almost a second stroke last year). She is alone as she has sent her two boys to bed and is waiting for the news to come through.

    We prayed and we hoped, but it wasn't to be. At least the family made it to be at his side.

    Thankyou your words have meant so much, your stories of hope, gave us a light to look forward to.
