Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] Sky News are reporting that Muamba is in a stable condition in hospital.
Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] Yes, I just read from Everton Football Club update that, "Great to hear the hospital reporting that Fabrice Muamba is in a stable condition. #prayformuamba" This is such great news. Hang in there Muamba!
Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] Sincerely sorry to see this happen. Let's hope the reports are true that he's now stable and that he recovers. Thoughts are with him, his family, and the Bolton Wanderers family.

Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] God speed to the young man. The upgrade to stable condition was nice to hear.
Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] As harsh as the fans can be, it was a nice display. The silence, though, was terrifying even knowing the current situation. Be well, Fabrice, be well.
Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] Best wishes for Fabrice. I hope that he can recover fully, or at least, just live on.
Re: Official BWFC 2011/2012 Match Thread [R] Yep, I don't care if he never plays football again I just want him to see his son grow up.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/mar/18/fabrice-muamba-heart-two-hours wow, I did't know someone could stay alive for two hours
Assuming the report is correct, it says that it couldn't beat on its own for two hours. Doesn't mean that it wasn't beating for two hours. But he suffered cardiac arrest, which mean't his brain wasn't getting any oxygen for those minutes. That means, if he survives, he might have some permanent brain damage. Because if your brain is deprived of oxygen for even a few minutes, it can be catastrophic.
I was in ICU for 4 days about 2 and a half years ago. People were dropping dead , and from the peak I took through my curtains, the doctors would attempt to resuscitate a person for almost 2 hours or so, I made note of it because I had nothing to look at but the clock and crappy TV, lol. Which means they are artificially pumping your heart whether from CPR or the defibrillator. The sad thing was watching them leave a room in anger, being unsuccessful in reviving a person. But, yeah it is amazing that you can be brought back to life in this manner, it really both stunned and comforted me knowing professionals will spend this amount of time trying to bring you back to life. My mother worked in ER's and told me it was normal, that it takes a while for them to give up on someone.
Prayers for Fabrice to survive this tragic event.. I just want him to make it, and live, with or without football.. Thoughts for his family as well. Top lad
Having lost a friend a few years back to a similar situation (heart attack on the field, age 20), this hits real close to home for me. Even though I've never met Fabrice, it's impacted me like he's family. I've been praying since I found out that it turns out different in this situation.
