Update on my brother

The doc rang mum last night and said he's going to be ok, but it'll be a while yet. He had a blood transfusion, because he had a seriously low platelet count. He's done kidney, liver and muscle damage, but it's thankfully not permanent. He'll have a long recovery time, and will spend the week in hospital, but he'll be ok. Thanks for all the thoughts.
