Lil Bruv is back and now home and heading for bed.
His Grandson is still in a coma. The Docs say it is the best thing they can do. His head is drilled (twice) to enable pressure to be relieved and electrodes to be placed.
The woman driver who hit him came out from a side road without stopping and the Swiss Police say she is to blame but are waiting to see what happens to the boy before bringing charges. He was apparently riding one of those scooter things that continental kids go in for (he will be 17 in a few weeks) and was wearing a helmet. Apart from the brain injuries he has a broken collar bone, superficial cuts and bruises and a couple of cracked ribs.
Thanks to all who enquired and wished him well. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I have been wondering. So where goes it from here?

shrugs: They say he may awake with some brain damage, he may awake with some or total memory loss, he may awake a vegetable, he may never wake. Whatever, with the exception of the last option, he looks likely to have a long period of rehab but the Docs say they simply have no way of knowing until they finally bring him round what the damage is. When they tried to bring him our of the coma last weekend he had breathing difficulties and his temperature rose alarmingly so they put him back under immediately and are keeping him that way until the judge it safe to decrease the meds and let him start to wake up. They say that he has youth on his side and that by keeping him under he has a better chance of his brain rebuilding itself.
The situation is not helped by family disputes between his divorced parents about who has the rights to make decisions. Swiss law is, I am told, very difficult about this. The father is Swiss, Mother is English (though has lived in Switzerland for getting on for 18 years and by dint of the marriage and despite divorce has two passports). The lad and his sister have dual nationality but the Swiss claim precedence as they were born in Switzerland and have lived there all their lives.
Thanks everyone for all the good wishes.

Had this been mentioned somewhere already? Must have missed it, sorry. redface:
Sad to hear about all this Snoops, and hope he makes a good recovery.
How's your brother coping?

In answer to how is the Lil Bruv coping ~ with alcohol as usual ::)

Oh dear. eeek:
That's never going to be the answer. But then I spent the vast majority of the month I spent with my Dad before he died in an alcoholic haze. redface: So who am I to talk.

I know ~ but it is too late to change him now. He doesn't see it as a problem and despite being Lil Bruv he is 57 years old so big enough to make up his own mind as to how he is going to kill himself. Annoyingly he is much fitter and healthier that me evil:

They never do though do they.

be assured Mal that, while the rest of the nation worries about Beckham and his dad , i'll be thinking of the lad..

Best wishes to you and yours Snoopy

Update is that the lad came out of the coma last evening. Is sitting up in bed, all salient parts are moving and he has recognised and spoken to his mother. He has no idea what happened.
