Great news, glad to hear it!!

Oisin is getting better by the minute and is out of intensive care already. He had another scan today to see if there was any more bleeding and it came back all clear. His eyes are opened up again and he is watching cartoons!!! He had some food today and kept it down. He even wants out of bed. Its truly remarkable how he is bouncing back after such a serious operation. He may be allowed home as early as Sunday.
Once at home he will need 24hr supervision for three months just to make sure he dosent knock his head ( I know we cant wrap him in cotton wool but these 3 months are crucial).
Its unclear if there will be any long term damage and we will only know as he develops but we're thankfull for what we have.
Heres hoping he continues to recover as quickly as he is.

Thanks again for all your prayers and support.

I may not be the best practising Christian in the world, but I for one, never doubt the power of prayer. I'm close to giving up on Fremantle though. $:-\$

If he has to wear one of those 'crash helmet' type things he'll adjust quickly and get used to it. Wanes are just wonderful, and thank God we've had no dramas with mini-me.

Great news about the wee one. Small children can be amazingly resilient. My own wee lad is about the same age and i can hear him on the monitor as i type so i can only imagine what his parents have been through.

He'll be in my prayers tonight that he continues on his road to recovery.

Another good day for Oisin. He is coming out of his shell and starting to behave normally again. Looks like he'll be home on Sunday

super news, it is unreal how quickly children can bounce back from something so serious!!

Great news but along with the prayers a lot of credit must go to Beaumont Hospital (assuming thats where the little lad was) because it is one of the best hospitals in the world and has won many european awards. At a time when the healthcare system is in tatters Beaumont Hospital is one place we should all be proud off.

Well done to Oisin, he will probably end up kicking Laois off the field in a few years time.

Spot on Bud, Beaumont are definitely up there with the best, with a 16 month old daughter it would be my worst nightmare so I am delighted Oisin is making a strong recovery.

Delighted that the child is improving

Unfortunately I'd ahve to disagree there as from personal experience I'd have serious reservations around their ICU team and also the A & E services
