nervousness made us feel like the only two people in the room on the third weekend I decided that I was going to propose a lot of people would say it’s very quick but I just knew that I wanted to be with this woman so it was the right thing I think I left it a bit late actually it’s a very pretty plat you’ve got in your hair yeah my wondered it’s supposed to be like Ariel’s s like Ariel we left a 2ye period before we got married just a chance to get to know each other really when I found out that Tasha was pregnant it was just everything how’s that good good you’re getting a free face massage

a little bit wobbly um and then it looks like a couple of them have what we call a vol so gone into the gum line certainly doesn’t have any teeth missing that I can see but fragments of teeth um so we may need to get a chest x-ray just to make sure those fragments haven’t been inhaled at the time of the injury happening okay [Music] okay got any tough his or what I’ve always got tough his did I

Crush injuries when a wall fell on him at work just yeah initial scans have shown he has a collapsed lung and needs an urgent chest drain Stephen can I have a look at your chest then just going to work out where we’re going to pop a drain in a collapsed lung can be life-threatening if it’s possible can you take some deep brass in and out with your mouth open for me the condition can deteriorate and the lung can collapse further and then at that point the patient can really be struggling to breathe all right Steven so just a a little scratch okay when I first met Steve I was out on a Hu the last Pub we went to there was a party already there in his um Dancing Away having drinks and that I noticed Steven we’re both very shy but once we got chatting that’s when yeah and he he was the one

cheese fest of all the songs that we liked Steve was pretending to rap to Ice Ice Baby it was just a big a big party really from when we first got together Stevens always spoke about wanting wanting [Music] children but I was told that it could be a big risk with my heart condition okay yeah we should be all right Stephen deep breath with your mouth open if you can Stephen he’s not right I’m

depressed right frontal skull fracture and he’s very quiet so you know we’re quite worried about [Music] him are you in any pain you know what’s happening thank you thanks very much cheers thanks bye bye I’ve just had a reply from the neurosurgeons we’re going to do another CT scan this is a specific one looking at the arteries that go up to the brain um because one of the little bits where the bone has gone looks quite close to where the arteries are if there’s damage to the arteries leading to the brain then that can result in the brain not receiving adequate blood supply and death of the brain tissue seeit that could potentially be something that can cause really devastating long-term injuries and even be fatal [Music] here we are my de we’ve had it’s your 73rd birthday marel oh

boy long blonde curly glasses he looked like the Milky bar kid he’s a toddler he’d go in a bath he’d put his head under the water to see how he could hold his breath for to the point where he were passing out um jump off the end of the sofa some assaults trampoline in push back yeah it were it were it were Bonkers I’d say it’s very similar to how I were I’d like to think that were father and some Bond straight away I just try to make sure I see watch Kobe play football or ride his bike because it’s something that my dad weren’t able to do when I were a kid it was always a way working I don’t think he were interest in riding again it will well he will once it gets better but he going rushing in Sarah my dad he were a builder during the 80s so he was always working in Germany Holland London but he worked really really hard to get everything we needed to get [Music] my mom she were battling bowel cancer well before me and my sister were born the doctors told her she’d never have children in fact she had three healthy children as kids we never spoke about it she fought it for probably 20 years we can get this guy she were at home most of the time she ran the house she did everything we needed she were brilliant absolutely fantastic we had a really good relationship very lucky really really lucky so what’ll happen now KOB somebody have a quick look at all your scans just text about 45 minutes to get proper reports back take so he could go to xray xray xris and left shoulder right so we’re going to x-ray then Kobe before we go back Kobe never met mom but I don’t

hug for me coming home from deployment to see my wife after we lost our baby it was devastating don’t know just can’t re explain it it stuck with you it never leaves you after that period of difficulty we decided to give it another try even though how painful it was at the time we thought it was worth it and it was that Tasha felt pregnant again we were both happy all righty so we’re just behind the screen we’re still in the room I’d always wanted a girl as a first child that first moment of holding her I just remember seeing her face thinking this is like the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen and breathe normally beautiful Lea that’s us all finished no problem I think biggest challenge in my life in the Army is dealing with family life and work life just trying to get a balance between the two it’s hard it’s difficult I’m falling asleep and tired know I’ve accumulated over 2 and A4 years away from home it does hurt but I’m doing it at the end of the day for them chest x-ray looks fine there’s no sign that the teeth are anywhere in the lungs yeah in terms of X-rays of the face today they will do those X-rays at an emergency dentist in the meantime it’s just going to be lots of regular pain relief warm water with a small amount of salt in just to do grines and just really soft diet until you’ve seen the dentist yeah and my dad has to tell my mom because he’s usually

in better days are you in a lot of pain just going to feel the outside of your face okay with both always wanted to have a family and have children but I developed a heart murmur and they found one of the valves wasn’t like sealing properly having a baby carrying an extra body would have had more pressure on my heart Steve was really worried about what would happen unless I had an operation it was open heart surgery and I had the valve replaced I remember the nurs is telling me that I’ve been set up talking about Steven in recovery I just remember him being really happy when he came afterwards came to see me call your T back for me we hadn’t been trying for long at all before we fell pregnant Steve was really excited so happy it was just the best feeling he was there to see her being born

life-changing in family’s everything you’ve got to remind yourself like what are you doing it all four time together as a family is so precious and we should never take that for [Music] granted Steven
