Hi sonkie, didnt realise your bro was so ill, I'm so sorry, thinking of you (and him) xxx
I can't believe I've only just seen this. I'm so sorry about your brother, but it seems there's being a big improvement since the beginning. He just needs to keep his fighting spirit. You sound like a fantastic sister. I'm sending positive vibes up to him.
I hate to play devils advocate but this girl might just find it all too daunting a task to stay with Wayne now that he has suffered these injuries. I know someone who was in a very similar position many years ago, they were 20 and their boyfriend 24.. and the same kind of injuries.. and it tore her apart to see him like that but at the same time she knew and he told her, that she should not stay with him out of a sense of duty. It was, I think, the toughest decision she (and he) ever made. But they both knew that she was too young to cope with that level of dependency from a partner.. and all the ramifications that go with it.
I don't know Wayne nor his girlfriend, but I do feel that you should just accept that perhaps she simply could not cope with her fella being so badly hurt and the level of care he might need in the future.
I think it takes a very very very special kind of person to be able to stay with a partner (esp so young) after such a life-changing event.
As I say - I'm just playing devils advocate, but put yourself in her shoes for a moment and not Waynes...or yours as his family and friends.
(and please do NOT for a single second think that I am being uncaring or unsympathetic towards this horrendous situation that Wayne now has to struggle with on top of everything else.. I just think it's important to see it from all angles if at all possible).
(((hugs)))))) you're a good 'un Sonkie - you know that eh? xxx
