fuck, i'm really sorry to read this.

what hospital is he at?

He's in Prince of Wales. They have a really good spinal unit there apparently so when he is out of ICU that's where he will be. As of today though he's in a coma and back on the supported breathing. Scary times. All we can do is hope.

i can only imagine how scary it must be, it's a really big and confronting thing to deal with (for all of you).

Holy shit darlin' why didn't you call me? I could have come over or something and got you horrendously drunk if nothing else. I've just called you but your mob's going to voicemail. I'm at work at the moment and then heading to a inspirational meeting thingy tonight but give me a call back on the mobile. Is there anything I can do?? Give my love to Jan.
