King-hit bouncer Fady Taiba squeezes wife Danielle's hand Pictured at St Vincents Hospital is Danielle Taiba, the wife of bashed bouncer Fady Taiba, and two of their teenage sons Adam and Daniel. A GENTLE squeeze of the hand was the tonic Danielle Taiba needed to feel from her critically ill husband to know he was fighting to stay alive. Father-of-four Fady Taiba, 43, has been in a coma for the past week, after allegedly being king hit while working as a bouncer outside a Sydney nightclub. Each day, Mrs Taiba has sat at his bedside in St Vincent's Hospital's intensive care unit, holding his hand, chatting to him and begging that he pull through. On Thursday night, a gentle squeeze from her husband of 20-years, was the assurance and encouragement she and their children needed. "My baby squeezed my hand," an emotional Mrs Taiba said. It's going to be OK, I know it is. The couple's eldest son Adam, 17, who should be competing in a national swimming competition in Adelaide this week but was too distraught to go, then grabbed his dad's hand to feel it for himself. "It's reassuring Dad's there," Adam said. Until then, there had been little response from Mr Taiba, something doctors have told the family is normal for a person in a medically induced coma.

Doctors have no idea as to the extent of Mr Taiba's injuries, until they slowly wake him from the coma when his condition allows. "They're telling us that around day 10 they will try and wake him, but it depends on when the swelling goes down," his sister Tess said. In the meantime, Tess said it's a waiting game. It's just devastating seeing him like that. His kids haven't been to school at all since this happened, they're too upset," she said.
