Yikes Nic, hope he gets through this, it really is dragging on

Um Toby is my nephew - my youngest sisters boy youngest boy. The April girls know coz I was keeping it within our group, Jan 23 (monday) last year he was being cared for by a friend of hers... Penny was sick and Tim had to go into work to help finish/sign off on a big sales deal... was the only reason he left them Toby was not quite 12 months old

Anyway he chocked on a bit of a sandwich - ambo's took a bit too long to arrive. Jill tried to get it out to no proper avail, and ambo's did manage to revive him. He woke for a little time on the Wednesday where Tim saw him smile and recognised him before passing out again.

Jen & I got a call Friday morning asking us to come down asap... we drove down on the Saturday, returning the following weekend. On the monday, or early that week, it was shown he was massively brain damaged due to loss of oxygen during that 10minutes or so.... he was put into paliative care, only being feed if he "awoke"... On Feb 23 he passed away


Oh, and since Tim got called home when the accident occurred, it was before the deal was signed - and the scum colleague left behind to finish it, even though Tim did most of the work, this bloke pocketed the entire sales commission. So he effectively went to work that day for nothing and something so unthinkable occured whilst away from home


Ona brighter note, they are expecting another boy latish May, but will be born early may since Pen is a Type 1 diabetic (like me). Spoke with her after I finished the powerpoint preso, to say something was on its way... apparently the others werent coming around, so sorta lucky I hadn;t booked flights
