Ivan Would Call This 'Plan Z'

Hi Everyone
I'm at the hospital at the moment with Ivan. Many of you will have heard him, during his illness, talk positively about moving on to plan B and if that didn't work plan C and then D and so on. Unfortunately we have now run out of plans.

Ivan is now very ill. The doctors have said that there is now nothing more that they can do. Everyone's efforts are now going towards making him as comfortable as possible. At present he is sleeping a lot but he knows that we are here with him.

Please keep your comments and prayers coming. They are a great comfort to both him and Averil.

Mick

  5. Hi Ivan, I read your blog regularly but have never commented! Just spoke to my mum and dad who were with you yesterday evening. They should be here with me now but an Icelandic volcano had different plans! Thinking of you and your family, all our love from Spain

  22. It is with great sadness that I am typing this. Your positivity and eternal hope and optimism has been inspirational. We will miss you greatly and Facebook will never be the same without your witty comments and sense of humour. I will miss the banter but you are leaving all of us with fantastic memories so thank you and may you be comfortable (you don't deserve anything less!)
    From a school point of view, we'll look after Mike and might even give him a few hugs. We'll never forget how you made us all famous on You Tube!
    Introduce yourself to my dad Ivan, he'll love your sense of humour (but he is an Everton fan so be aware.
    Take care and lots of love xx

  25. Goodbye my friend - What can I say about you Ivan - I would take up too much space to describe you - but in short - A wonderful, truly inspirational, one of the nicest people I have ever met, kind, caring, funny and above all your sense of humour and your silly jokes. I will miss you dearly - but will always have a very special place in my heart - school hometimes are never going to be the same again.

    And to all Ivan's family, you have got to be one of the nicest families I have ever met - in a world full of hate and greed, your love, courage and dignity over these last two years has been a true inspiration to me. I will always be here for all of you.

    I have so many happy memories of Ivan,and i will cherish these always.

    Love to you all

    Kate, Mark, Megan and Ronnie xxxxxxxx
