The family of a 'loving' dad stuck in a Slovakian hospital have told of their desperation to bring him home after suffering a horrific accident at a karaoke bar.
Dad-of-one Thom Bradley, 43, has spent over two weeks in a medically induced coma after falling down a flight of stairs and hitting his head while on a city break in Bratislava with his uncle and friends, on the evening of April 30.
He was rushed to hospital after suffering a broken neck and trauma to his head and spine, his family said. He has remained heavily sedated ever since and receiving around the clock care, almost 1,200 miles from his loved ones at home.

An MRI scan at the Kramáre Hospital on Wednesday (May 15) will hopefully bring Thom's devastated family some much needed answers about his prognosis and recovery. However, they say they have been told they will need to raise around £30,000 to bring him on a medical repatriation flight back home.
Thom, who is a full-time carer for his autistic daughter Daisy Mae, was described by his mum and step sister as 'kind hearted, quirky and a nutter'. The dad has been relying on a ventilator and has remained sedated since the catastrophic fall. He has only recently started to be able to breathe again on his own.
"He was out with his uncle and a few friends when he fell backwards down a flight of stairs and banged his head," his mum Gill told the Manchester Evening News.
"It was just a city break, which they go on quite often. They called an ambulance and he was taken to hospital; he's been on a ventilator for the last fortnight.
"I flew out on the Thursday (May 2) and he was just completely out of it.
