Well after 28 hours of travelling, i’m finally in Madrid. I went from the airport straight to the hospital and was allowed to see him after hours. When i saw him the 28 hours was worth every second. Brooke and Monz had prepared me for the worst in regards to the way he looked so i was prepared for the machines, the tubes, the grazes all over his face and body.
I told him i was here and he opened his eyes and tried a little smile. I asked him to squeeze my hand and he gave it a squeeze. I then told him to check out the T-Shirt i was wearing, it was a SOUTHSIDE/BRONTE HOLLAND T and his eyes almost popped out of his head and tried to sit up. It was a great reaction.
We met with the Neurosurgeon not long after and they checked his brain for a second time. This time they found bleeding deep inside his brain and this maybe the reason why he can’t move the right side of his body very well. They said that it could repair itself and he will be fine and of course they have to tell us the worst that he may not be able to use that side of his body that well which i’m sure won’t be the case.
Now that he is breathing by himself, there was talk today that he may have the tubes removed from his mouth and nose which will make him a bit more comfortable.
We have been completely overwhelmed by the support we have received. From everyone here at RedBull Spain with helping Mum, Bailey and myself get here to Spain. The Metul Mulisha with organising Docter G in the US to relay back to us what the Spanish doctors have been saying. Once again Maddo and Amy, words can’t describe how much we appreciate everything they did while they were here and all the support from back home from the text msgs we have been getting, emails from friends and the massive amount of fans, the Australian media, Fullnoise and Facebook.
We go back in tomorrow at 12noon for an update and then we get to see him at 12:30pm (11 hours time). I’ll update everyone when i get a chance tomorrow.
The doctors have asked us to chat with him while we are in there with him. If you could please leave a msg for him here on the site and i’ll print them out each day and read them to him.
Thanks,
Mick
