He continued: When the paramedics came and he was lying motionless on the ground we knew something wasnt right.We were praying inside that he had just been knocked unconscious and wed get to the hospital and Sean would wake up, have a bandage around his head and get out and say what the hell was that all about, we missed a pretty big game.Its tough. Its extremely tough. It has changed our lives completely.Day-by-day for Sean from the start was very hard as we didnt know what road we were going down.Thankfully, since October, when Sean moved out to the National Rehabilitation Centre here in Dublin he has come on a lot.Hes getting the right rehab and the right facilities are there for him.Theres a long, long journey ahead and it is a massive struggle.“The progress is slow and sometimes cruelly slow.
