"Well, i wasnt called overnight so that must be good.i rang twice in my sleepless
state and steve was stable.had to have yet more platelets but no more blood and
his clotting has stabilised so thats a relief.he is " eating up" their sedation
drugs according to the itu reg and they are having to give him large amounts to
keep him asleep.i think he wants to wake up! That is the plan after itu ward
round today.just wanted to take the opportunity to say a huge thank you to
everyone for so much support.it really has helped me and made me feel less alone
with all of this.steves mum joan and brother have beena huge support here for me
and of course my mum and john who are keeping my house going and taking care of
sam and emma whilst keeping me going at the same time.i couldnt have done it
with out everyone to help.x"

just a quick comment here to clarify for any new members. I (maggie) am receiving messages from steved's wife and I am quoting her words exactly....the messages you are reading are steve's wife's words.
I am trying not to comment as the threads go on because I feel I would then update the thread and you would think it was fresh word from England and steve. I am not clear if the surgery if totally finished?
Steve thinking about you all the time....
sending warm energy as you start to wake up

Dear Mags
Once again thank you.
It does sound as if the surgery may be over if they are planning to wake him up.
It is wonderful that his wife has support so close at hand.
Please relay BIG HUGS to them all and let them know that prayers continue for all.

I am so happy things seem to have gone well with the surgery. Steve is one brave man and it sounds like he has a very strong woman by his side. May God bless them all.
Thank you so much for giving us updates. I know Steve hasn't been off my mind as is the case with the rest of us on the board.

absolutely amazing
okay this really me talking.....haha not steve's wife.
Isn't it wonderful???? what a guy !!!! whewww we said collectively.....breathe.....
just to explain.....I am not actually talking to steve's wife....before they started surgery Steve and his wife set up an account .....I think there are about 30 members who receive messages and can talk. They are family and close friends and co-workers.....because I am not family I am just keeping my head down and copying the messages as Steve asked me to do.
There are so many amazing stories on this forum over the years but this one is really resonating with me.....what a guy!!! indeed...
thank you for all your generous thanks but really it is my pleasure and I feel very humbled that I am able to do some wee thing.
I am a great believer in love and energy and prayer and thoughts and good will ...soooo
keep up the fine work kids.....love to you all
mags...ps Kim I think he is finished....and on with recovery
