Thank you for all the messages of love. Simon is reading them and appreciates the support. We arranged an iPhone for him to occupy himself and to be able to see the feed come through on this blog.
Today, we have alot going on. We have Dr Kerr coming to see Simon as a personal favour as well as his capacity as a Dr at Shenton Park. Hopefully we get some answers in relation to different forms of rehabilitation that have been mentioned, from hyperbaric chambers, accupuncture, stem cells etc. As well as discussing the millions of questions we have on Shenton Park.
There have been a number of fundraisers being organised. Below is the information in relation to the first fundraiser being held next friday.
Again, the support has been amazing, just lost for words, thank you. It goes to show how many people Simon, firstly knows, but how many stick around. It is a testament to himself. He says you all stick around because of my food =)
Simon was saying he is worried about me, and I am worried about him, so that shows you the strong heart that he has.
Thank you
Marina

Hi Simon and Marina
ReplyDeleteWe don't know what to say, so I will just be honest.
I feel sick in the stomach thinking about what you have been through and what you will go through over the coming months with rehab. I cannot even begin to consider what it must be like, I just wish this had not happened and I just say "f???, "sh??"" ten times a day because this tragedy has struck.
You and Marina are both so vibrant people, and I know we don't see you except at Christmas, but I really enjoy seeing you that one time a year. From all of the reports I have heard and other comments on this blog site it sounds like you are both being amazingly positive and that your vibrancy has not disappeared and the strength that you both have displayed is inspiring. I am so proud to hear this. I really don't know if I would have coped had this happened to John and I.
Not a day goes past that we do not think of you both and wonder what the progress has been and hope that something has happened to give you guys hope. I am in awe of your strength at this time.
We are in Rottnest next week, but will be thinking of you, and will check out the blogger site when we return.
Take care.
Love John, Candy, Isaac an Scarlett.
Hi Simon and Marina
ReplyDeleteI was so upset and saddened to hear about your accident, Simon. Kevin and I knew both you and Jeff when you were students at Warwick SHS. We have become good friends with your parents and have thus been able to catch up with what you two boys have been doing over the years since you were at school.
This accident is a horrible tragedy, but, Simon, you and Marina are so lucky to have the most dedicated and wonderful support network around you. With that kind of backing I am sure you will battle past what must seem like almost insurmountable obstacles and emerge out the other end stronger in body and spirit than before.
We are thinking of you each day and focusing all our positive mental energies towards your full recovery. We will attend the fundraiser on Friday as a physical demonstration of our support and please know that we wish your whole family all the very best for the future. Get well soon.
Sharon Eggers and Kevin Coffey

Hi Simon and Marina
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you and here for you always.
Good luck in Shenton Park Simon. Thinking of you every day mate. "Messy/cheeky" regularly asks me how you are as you are in her thoughts often. She is hanging out for Alexandra to come back to school. She has missed her little buddy.
Sending lots of love and well wishes
