Sad unexpected passing of my beloved Brother.

It is with great sadness that i have to write that my Brother passed away, suddenly and unexpected after being admitted to hospital with yet another breathing infection. He was placed into an induced coma 6th October 2019. His history I have written previously. From hospital walking talking moving laughing and having a minor breathing issue to being placed into an induced coma and coming out a quadraplegic and unable to speak and being sent to a nursing home, regaining ĥis voice albeit slurred and not totally clear. Several readmissions to hospital with further infections. Each time pulling through. Until March 19th this year, when his battered body gave up for the last time. He felt he could not breathe properly so was admitted to hospital 5 days later, that dreaded call came telling me to get to the hospital as my Brothers' health was declining rapidly. I phoned others. We made our way from different addresses.

At the hospital we held his hand and gently spoke to him.

His daughter was further away. She phoned whilst being driven to the hospital. We held the phone to his ear. She said the words I'm coming Dad, I love you.

With that. I watched my Brother take his last breath.

Critical illness myopathy and broncho-pneumonia.

October 6th 2019 your life changed forever in ICU.

19th March 2024. Your body gave up.

09TH August 1969 to

19th March 2024

A brave young man.

He is resting at peace now.

To people reading this do not give up hope.

We have treasured memories which we will never forget.

I will continue to be in the support group. It helps a great deal.

Hugely painful for you all. I am so glad his daughter got a message her him. I lost my brother 3 years ago also in a difficult way and continue to expect him to turn up which he does in my mind many times.
