Lincolne is still in ICU, still no progress, still running my fingers through his hair to help him sleep at night, hoping soon I'll be able to help him walk. Yesterdays highlights included coughing up blood and sand, sitting up for extended periods, drains and stitches being taken out of the wound in his neck and eating solids. We will keep the low lights to ourselves for now. He's good early in t...he morning, good in the late evening and rides an emotional and painful roller coaster throughout the day.
His girlfriend of two years is down from Queensland. I tell my boys to turn girlfriends over frequently but feeling glad he stuck to his plan to ignore my advice for the rest of his life and hang on to this one. Cody has been incredible, so strong & supportive.
His friend Jess is amazing, he wouldn't be alive if Jess hadn't spotted him face down in the water. She knows the potential of the man inside the broken body and continues to remind him that the person inside is what we all value.
His mates have been camped at the hospital for two days, he'd felt too vulnerable to see them until late last night. Thanks to Liam, Daniel, Brandon, Dennis, James, DJ, Stefan, Matt & Humza for saving my sons life, loving him like brothers and being patient.
There is much heartache in front of us, but, more importantly, learning, experience, refining of character, friendship and, God willing, maybe a miracle.
We find it hard to respond to the many offers for help and messages of concern, strength, encouragement and love. We read or listen to all of them. None go unnoticed all are greatly appreciated and a necessary support for us at this time. You have all been so generous. Returning calls is the hardest, not because of time, but emotionally it is difficult.
Until his blood pressure stabilises he'll be in ICU. They keep it high using a drug called Nordrenalin, which they had to increase overnight. While in ICU visits are very restricted and need to be short. So it is best to leave visits till he's in the spinal ward.
Much love and thanks to all,
