So today I received a message from M advising that two family members of the man we helped on New Years Eve knocked on his door earlier this evening.
The Family members had found out where M and D lived from the paramedic that responded to our call and who took the man into hospital that evening. They’d popped round to thank us for helping their Father/Husband, and to drop off some flowers and chocolates as a thank you. None of us expected to hear from the man or anyone connected to him, let alone receive a thank you in person from his loved ones.
The wife and daughter explained that he was still in hospital awaiting an x-ray on this arm and that they thought he had been outside for some time as was hypothermic when he was admitted into the hospital.
I’m just so pleased that we found him when we did and that we called 999 even though he was trying to refuse our first aid assistance. It doesn’t bare thinking about what would have come of the man if we hadn’t.
My thoughts are with him at this time and I am wishing him a speedy recovery.
