Hey fly sorry to hear about your brother please send best wishes and a speedy recovery.

thanks Brendan it means a lot to us and we have been swamped with well wishers from every corner of this country and also from england

i went down to see him today and i found out he also has some broken ribs and i also found out what actually happened with the accident as well and it turns out the driver was a learner with a P plate passenger and he cut out after the car in front of my brother and didnt see my brother behind the car

and at the time of the accident the person who lives where the accident happend (who just happened to be a nurse) was out the front of her place and my brother pretty much landed on his face at her feet and he was consious the the entire time

If there is anything we can do to help/support you guys let us know. Keep us updated on how he is going

everyone here is helping with all the moral support and i couldnt ask for more than you guys have already given

 

so thanks heaps guys you lot are all champions in my book

 

i just can't wait to meet you all in person so i can shake your hands and thank you all in person

Posting on behalf of Trev, who's down at brissie with his brother at the moment. On tuesday things were looking good for Darryl, the doctors had taken him off the sedatives over the weekend and put him on a dialysis machine to pull out the rest of the drugs and slowly wake Darryl up, which all going well would be have been this weekend at the latest.

Received a text from Trev around 5:50pm telling me that Darryl has severe swelling on the brain.

So Trev shot down there to be with him.

The last text i received from Trev at 9:30pm - there hasn't been much change :sob:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haven't heard from Trev this morning (no news is good news ?)

So, yeah, we're hoping to get a text from Trev saying things are back on the up again for Darryl and not a phone call.

Keep us updated mate. Let him know we are here for him, and tell his bro to keep on truckin :)

Yeah a text would definately be better than the phone call....... We are all thinking of Trev & his family throughout these times

 

Cheers guys, i just passed the messages on.

 

The last i heard, which was around 10am, was that nothings changed. Which, i guess, is a good thing, yeah.

Hey guys thanks for all the support.

As of now there hasn't been any change so its still a waiting game.

Its only been a week but it seems like its been a month already

ok guys i have an update for you in regards to my brother

 

the doctors have put him back on dialysis and it turned out he was having a bad reaction to the dialysis mixture that they were using first so they have changed the mixture and things are starting to look up

and his 12 year old daughter (who he hasnt seen for over a year) arrived in brisbane today and went to visit him with her mother so that was another good thing for him

 

just found out he hasn't seen her for about 2.5 years

And this is why I am happy to leave my bike sitting in the entry way of my front door.

Yeah unfortunately even the best riders encounter bad drivers occasionally.....

Yeah unfortunately even the best riders encounter bad drivers occasionally.....

 

and they are guaranteed to come across Learner drivers and P platers

caught up with trev today, had a good chat.

 

and i still remember what my motorbike instrutor told me, way back when:

"Assume they are all out to getcha"

 

but yeah due to this type of horrible accidents and friends close over the years losing their lives on the 2 wheelers, i will never ride another on the road..

Everyone is a bad driver in Sunnybank...
