Thank you everyone for your lovely replies- i don't have great internet access as I am away from home but its nice to know there are people out there who can empathise. The hospital my Dad is in is 3 hours away from where we live, and I am down here with my mum. We have been down here since my Dad had his SAH. So its great we have each other. Various family members come down every now and again and my boyfriend comes down when he can. So we are very lucky to have such a great support network around us. My Dad is now back in high dependency and off all sedation so although it has been a long three weeks for us, its just the state for him! He has done so well to survive this, and as the doctors have said he must be a fighter. Just like all the other people on here, whether you have had an SAH or have a loved one who has. we are all fighters together xx

Hi there. My name is Melody, im 21 and my dad has had a SAH. it happened on April 1st (not a very amusing April fools). He was fine, in bed and collapsed. my mum found him semi conscious and phoned an ambulance. he was airlifted to a different hospital for specialised treatment and had the coiling procedure the next day. he is currently in intensive care in an induced coma. he has to have had a second surgery to remove a blood clot as well. We have no idea what kind of recovery he might have or when he will wake up. Im not sure what to expect or what im looking for from this site but i think i just need to reassurance that im not alone. i have spent every day in the hospital with him so far staying with friends nearby. Day 15 now and he is still asleep. i miss him! Its been nice to see all the posts from people so positive and uplifting. i hope my dad can get through it as well
