Aishah here. I didn't want to post but word has spread very fast and people are pestering my sisters and I.
Dad is in hospital in ICU from a Tiger snake bite. His pinning stick broke on catching the Snake so it got immediate access to his hand. The venom went straight his his circulation system from a deep bite and started to have neurological effects immediately. I watched him lose conciousness very fast in front of my eyes. Craig and I both thought we watched him die
Immediate first aid and hospital, There, I saw dad stop breathing multiple times. Last year he had a close scare with the brown but wasnt bitten. In 14 years, This is the 1st proper BITE dad has had:
- His pupils are dilated to 9mm.
- He couldnt't talk, breathe properly and the hospital asked me to discuss him possibly go on ventilation.
- 2 doses of antivenom.
- No taste, Numb hands, Eyes closed and Can't see.
- no blood clotting and started haemorrhaging severely.
- multi organ failure.
- incredibly drowsy and weak.
- muscle damage and nerve damage.
- heart irregularities
- he needs antibiotics for follow up infections.
My sisters and I are really upset. Pls stop contacting us to be nosy pretending to care just for gossip. You have all the info you need now so pls leave us alone as two of the sisters are under 18 and Ellie especially is very upset.
For now Craig is catching snakes. If you see one call me 0491120668 and I'll coordinate
For anyone wanting to post nasty things, I remind you dad is VERY strong. Dad has single-handedly raised us girls for 12 years now. This rare bite direct to the blood would have killed most but not dad. He WILL recover and ill. Show him everything written.
I would not have posted this except news has got out so I ask to respect our privacy in this very difficult time as dad has been our single source of strength for most of our lives.
