Updated: Chircop in stable, critical condition

(Updates condition to critical but stable)

Opposition health affairs spokesman Karl Chircop, 42, is in stable but critical condition after having been hospitalised last night suffering from cerebral haemorrhage

He is being treated in the intensive therapy unit. His wife and children are by his side.

The Labour Party in a statement this morning described Dr Chircop's condition as "critical".

It said Labour leader Joseph Muscat visited him in hospital.

Those who visited Dr Chircop this morning also included the Acting Speaker Carmelo Abela, Social Policy Minister John Dalli and former MLP leader Alfred Sant.

The family asked for its privacy to be respected.

A special prayer to you, Karl. The Lord in his infiniteness knows what is best for you and yours.

God will make a way where there seems to be no way,
He works in ways we cannot see,
He will make a way for thee,
He will be your guide,
He'll hold you closely to His side,
With love and strength for each new day,
He will make a way.

I will pray for you and your family. May we have good news soon, and may God bless you and your family always.

Thoughts and prayers are still with this GENTLEMAN and a beloved doctor and politician.
We are still hoping for a miracle. May God decides to let you come back to us, we still need you.
Prayers for your beloved family, too, at this terrible time.
Keep resisting, Karl!!

Karl is a chip of the old block. His father, my cousin, was Dr. Charles Chircop. Charles was a great gentleman, much beloved by all his family and friends. His sudden death rocked and shocked the whole family. It was an immense blow to his wife Marion and her children, Mariza, Karl and Tatyana who was just 12. I vividly remember that dreadful day and those that followed how difficult it was to cope with life. And now, wonders of wonders on Karl's 43rd year Nature decides again to hit us another devastating blow. Smiling, gentle and kind hearted Karl is in deep sleep.
My beloved cousin Karl is to me, a son, a brother and a dearest friend. I, like the rest of the family feel safe because of him.
The family is deeply moved by the shower of support and prayers coming from over our Malta. And I assure you miracles are happening. Please continue to pray for Karl.
To Karl's Guardian Angel I implore with all humility to send Karl back to us who need and miss him so very much.

Dr Karl was my late mum's personal Doctor during the period she suffered from a mild stroke, he was invariably very patient , caring and got on well with his elderly patients. It is indeed very sad that such a true gentleman should be going through this at such a young age. May the good lord keep his hand upon you in your time of need.

Although my family doesn't have the pleasure of having the personal acquaintance of Dr Karl Chircop, we are certain that he is a true gentleman, a charismatic family doctor and a greatly-admired MP, notwithstanding any political differences.

Our thoughts and prayers are fervently focused on his medical condition for a speedy recovery and the return to his normal routine. We would also like to express our solidarity with his family in these difficult moments.

Although I do not know Karl personally, I remember his wife Adriana at Sixth Form....may the Lord keep his hands over this family........on a less personal note : if we mortals need such news to forget all the trash we throw at each other (even through these blogs) under the excuse of political (or other intellectual) diversity, then we'd rather start respecting one another more genuinely and refrain fro pointing fingers at each other, accusing, mudslinging fellow mortals !

The Good Lord looks after the Karl and his Family. Have Faith !

In circumstances like this, I ask myself: Why bad things happen to good people? In other words, where is God when good people suffer? Suffering is indeed a mystery. And the real response to mystery is worship and trust. I pray that through this painful episode, Karl and his wonderful family experience God's power at work. Our God is one who stays with us faithfully and serves us in our suffering.

I have known Karl Chircop and his family for quite a number of years. We have collaborated with him throughout the years in many ways. Working with him was simply a pleasure because of Karl's joyous way of tackling problems. I was convinced of one thing: that he was after the welfare of others, especially those most in need.

Praying for him at this sad hour is not just a favour but a duty. May his wife Adriana and his children find refuge in the Almighty and Our Lady at this very sad and difficult moment.

Dear colleague, our prayers are with you and your family. Resist this difficult time. We are sure that with a strong character like yours, you'll make it mate.
Leo Brincat (3 weeks, 5 days ago)
Although I must have been one of the first to learn about Karl's serious condition late last night I am still reeling from the shock. Bad news is never welcome irrespective of the people concerned. But the shock becomes deeper when you suddenly realise that a close colleague and a personal friend who was doing his utmost in his new role as main spokesperson for Health and with whom I have shared many a joke has suddenly and unexpectedly found himself in this deeply critical condition. After having been in touch with his family since early this morning and having visited him some two hours ago I feel duty bound to appeal to one and all to pray for him in this very difficult moment.
