14 January 1959 - 14th April 2007 R.I.P Peter Rabbit
Hi to all,
These last 3 days a team of petes friends , Ray , My son craig, and myself have been holding a vigil at Pete's bedside.
The doctor told us on Thursday the tragic news that there was nothing more they could do for Pete and that they planned to take his life support away at 1am but this got cancelled.
The reason for the cancellation was that Pete being a wonderful , generous man , had sign an organ donation list.
7.30am Friday 13th, They took the life support away and told us his passing would be quick.
Not likely!! Pete being a fighter ( and bloody stubborn) defied passing on and was breathing on his own for 36 hours.
He gently and slowly passed away around 3.45pm 14th April.
He was quickly taken to theatre where his kidneys are being transplanted as I write this blog.
A 51 year old man has been given one and a 66 year old man is to have the other.
Pete also donated corneas which will help someone see again and his heart valves which will be given to children who need transplants.
I am so proud to be his sister and I hope I did him justice in his final hours.
We would like to thank Faye and Little Sal , who are both angels, they sat with Pete all night while I grabbed some sleep. Carl , Kathryn , Alis, Kev, Sean, Nick and Deb who helped Ray and myself to get through this time. And last but not least my son Craig, who I'm so, so proud of, he was there for Pete and helped me through and he never showed if he was scared.
Thank you to the wonderful nurses who looked after my brother, you are true Angels.
R.I.P my big bro, until we meet again xxxx

9 Days
Pete's still in his coma. Condition unchanged.
The consultant should be phoning me tomorrow.
Ray, Owen (my son) and myself are going to the hospital sometime this week depending when Ray can get a day off work.
Thank you everyone who keeps leaving comments.
We all know what Pete's like when he's watching a film, you can never get his attention, maybe he's like that in his deep dreams too.

8 Days
Phoned the hospital tonight and got the same as I've heard all week. Pete hasn't woken up yet and there is no change.
Lets hope tomorrow brings better news.
I keep telling the hospital that I dont want a password set up, so I dont understand why they are saying about a password to people.

7 Days
It's now 7 days since Pete's accident. His condition is still 'critical but stable coma' .
He had some more of his friends visit him today.
I've been reading up on coma patients and they say that when in a coma they lead a parellel life, so maybe Pete is having an excellent adventure.
If anyone would like to read books to him , I know he is a big fan of Lord of the Ring's and Terry Pratchet books. I'm going to look in my local library for some 'talking books' cd's.

Still sleeping
Alis, one of Pete's many friends, went to visit him today and some more of his friends are visiting on Sunday. They have permission to take a CD Walkerman into Pete , so he can have Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Rainbow, Dire Straits and maybe some Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson played to him. This might help him wake up.
I phone the hospital tonight and was told there was no change to his condition.

Some cause for concern
Ray and myself visited Pete in hospital today. He looked very peaceful. He hasn't got any cuts on his face except a little graze on his eyebrow. He has a black eye, a nasty cut on his head that has been stitched, 1 broken arm and hand, 2 broken bones in thighs both legs, he is breathing by himself, but the main concern is his brain.
I sat and talked to him about his dog ,Tonka, and the people who love him so much from the sites in Suffolk. I stroked his hand too and it twitch but the nurse said it was abnormal for him to do that and they were concern at some of the movements his body is doing.
He is very very poorly still and they cant say which way this will go. Also there is a possibilty that he will be disabled in some way as he has sustained bruising to the stem of the brain.
I phone the hospital tonight but there is no change. So far he has been in his coma 5 days.
I'd just like to say what a fantastic job nurses do. Gertrude, Pete's nurse, works 12 hour shifts , standing at the foot of Pete's bed observing him and see to his needs. She is truely an Angel as are all nurses.

Tonights update
I can now phone direct to Pete's bedside to the nurse who is there 24/7. This is very helpful.
Today Pete has undergone surgery again, this time to mend his hands. I learnt today that Pete has broken every bone except for his neck. He is breathing 30% for himself which is good to hear, thohe is still being helped to breath. He is still in deep coma but comfortable.
My brother Ray and I are going to the hospital tomorrow, they are going to discuss the results of MRI scan with us.
May I just take this opportunity to thank everyone whos been so kind especially Cathie who I am so grateful to for setting this blog up.
