Hi everyone, as you might know Ali is currently back in Hospital following a worrying few days. He is starting to feel better now and he wanted us to update the blog with whats been happening so here goes.........
Thursday morning Ali woke with a serious headache and more vomiting so following a number of phone calls we were instructed to bring him straight to A&E. After a large dose of Morphine he was finally able to lose the headache and was then taken for an MRI scan. They started some infusions, one to re hydrated him and one to help reduce the pressure build up inside his brain. Thankfully this seems to be helping and although the headaches still come and go they are more tolerable.
Ali is very sleepy and tired so will be staying in hospital for a few more days so they can closely monitor him and we are hopeful that he will be at home for Christmas.
He sends his love and a huge thank you for all your messages and is really looking forward to reading them all and posting again soon. Please do keep blogging! Your comments are helping him through this incredibly tough time.
With our love
Si and Jo x

Hi Ali and all the family,
Just want to say keep the faith - we all are. You've been amazing throughout this and everyone is allowed a few off days.
You're all in our prayers. Lots of Love

Thinking of you.

Hi Ali,
it must be like when we go out skiing, remember what you told me few year ago: if you have a shit day and everything is falling apart, just hang in there; it's a good sign of things that are changing and the big breakthrough is just around the corner.
I tell you what, it works every time, and I'll always remember your advice.
So hang in there a bit more boss, and you'll be much better soon, think about that Christmas party at home with your family.
talk to you soon

Hey Ali. Hang in there mate. I wish I was not on the other side of the world and could be there to offer more support. Rest assured that my thoughts are constantly with you.
Take care - Julian
Hi Ali,
Looking forward to seeing you in the coming weeks. Arsenal vs Spurs today. I'm sure you'll be looking out for the result of that one however you are feeling. Will your boys still be there at the top come the end of the season?? Hmmmm not sure about that!
Take care of yourself and we'll catch up soon
Hugh
sounds like you're being very strong and it's great that the hospital are on top of everything.
We're all thinking of you in the Brazier household and hoping that you'll be home for Christmas...how many years has it been now?
keep your pecker up and looking forward to seeing you in the new year, let me know when you're free

Hi Ali
Sorry that you have had a bad couple of days. Keep positive and remember we are all willing you on and thinking of you.
Big hug

Hi Ali,
Thinking of you mate during this tricky time. Keep it up buddy, we've got some surfing to do.

Hi Mate,
Back from NY now but keep missing you on phone - neither of us on UK sleepytime it seems.
Thought of you one morning - had smoked salmon bagel for breakfast in Carnegie's Deli. It would have fed Tim, Jenna, Diana and me, but you would have demolished it as a starter. This thing was HUGE!
Sorry to hear about setback, but remember we knew you had to get worse before you got better. This is just another step along the road - a bit like that bastard first climb to turn 1 on Alpe d'Huez. Once that is behind you, everything else seems a bit easier.
With love,
Philip
Hi Ali
Was gutted when Mike told me about your illness but in the short time I got to spend with you on the slopes I realised what a strong character you are and know you can beat this. Good luck mate and enjoy Christmas.
All the best John Emma and Ryan Osman
