Members,
 
Unfortunately  I have some very sad news which is difficult to write and am sorry to be the bearer. I would ask that you hold your nearest and dearest a little closer and hug them a little harder tonight.
 
Neil has not responded to treatment and was unable to recover sufficiently to sustain his breathing on his own, and the family have had to make the very difficult decision to have the breathing tubes removed.
 
It’s with a broken heart that his family have shared that Neil will be passing away in his own time now.
 
I am sure he would love us all to remember him how he was: a giant larrikin, full of love and joy, without a hint of ill-will in his body – ready to drop everything to help his friends or strangers alike. 
 
His family are a having a quiet drink for him tonight. I ask that you remember him and his family in your prayers, and toast his life if you wish, and take his joy with you onto the course.
 
Take nothing for granted.
 
warmest regards,
 
Stuart.
 
Further details will follow as they are available.

 

 

Update as at Sunday 2PM:

Neil had a turn for the worse on Saturday afternoon and underwent further surgery to relieve pressure.

He is now in an induced coma and is scheduled to undergo a CT scan today & the medical staff might try & bring him out to see if he can breathe on his own.

There has been a severe impact to the right side of his body & his speech.

His daughter Molly & son Niall have been in to see him with Denise and will go back to visit later today.

Updates will be provided as we know more, our thoughts are with Neil and his family, and we have offered assistance should it be required.

Regards and take care.

 

Stuart

 

 

Members,

This post is to advise that Neil McGlinchey suffered a stroke on Thursday evening (19 May) and was rushed to the Austin Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery.

He has family present, and visitors are not permitted at the hospital. His kids were flying out from the Isle of Man today. 

I am advised that he is responsive to the nurses and his family, but is not verbal at this stage. His left brain (right side) was affected and there is no prognosis at this early stage.

Out thoughts are with Neil and his family and we pray for a speedy and full recovery.

I will be the primary point of contact for any enquiries as Denise does not wish to be overwhelmed, we have offered what support and assistance we can, should it be required. 

Take care,

Stuart 

President YGC
