wow mate that is fantastic news, well done to your son who obviously is very strong, my best wishes for his continued path to health.
That's made my day Tony, what great news for Andrew and the whole family. So pleased for you all.
Andrew, I salute you! It is all great news, Tony. The medical staff have been fantastic throughout the whole ordeal.
Please pass on the Forums best wishes to all the Doctors and nursing staff
during your ordeal, they are heroes as well and they do it day in day out with
out a second thought.
I hope I speak on behalf of the entire forum
Brilliant news mate, here's to continued progress and good news from all of us over this way
Don't usually comment on things like as it is very close to my heart Tony, but this news has been so uplifting, well done Andrew give it heaps mate
Marvelous news Tony. Well done Andrew onwards and upwards mate!
Thanks for the update.
Good to hear that he's smashing his way back.
Great news there Tony, All my prayers and wishes are with Andrew and his family.
I admire Andrew for his strength and character, but also yours Tony as I know how draining on you and your family this experience has been.
It's great to hear some good news from somewhere. The stress relief must be fantastic.
Today was the best day this year so far, we got Andrew to come out of hospital for a few hours to join us for a bbq dinner.
It was so good to enjoy his company while cooking a bbq, something that I would have never thought was anything special before.
We were meant to be driving back to Adelaide from this Friday but the Dr's were to concerned about the distance between hospitals if something went wrong so the new plan is he is going to fly back on an air-ambulance. Unfortunately this means that he will have to have a drain surgically fitted to relieve the pressure build up in his lungs then have it removed in Adelaide.
His recovery continues to amaze the medical staff, we had been hoping that after about 5 years if he was still in remission from the cancer he would be put on the lung transplant list but his surgeon today said that it would not be necessary as his lung function would be sufficient without a transplant.
It is so weird to think that when he was in the coma and the dr's were telling us he was going to die I would wake up from dreams where he was walking and talking and doing normal things and I would wake up and think this will never happen but it is happening now.
Life is good.

Great news Tony, absolutely brilliant.
Truly truly amazing mate, its so good hearing about his recovery
I was only just talking to b the wife about Andrews last update from his mate..

May maybe a touch early for a beer but mate he is a trooper..
Send him best wishes for the flight mate..
Can't believe it!! Touched by an Angel! So so happy for you all. Enjoy this time guys.

Others would have thrown their cards in by now, still good will to Andrew and his support team,

Dreams do come true.
Great news Tony.
So much of your lives have been put on hold,but to see the light at the end of the tunnel getting larger must be a great relief.
Prayers and best wishes to all concerned.
Andrew went home today, it was fantastic to go around and see him sitting in his lounge room enjoying being with his family.
We are having a big family gathering at my place tomorrow to properly welcome him back.

In the past month he has not used the wheelchair at all and 2 weeks ago he even helped me load up a ute full of firewood, he can stand and walk around without any problem but still has issues walking up any incline.
He has been back at work for a while part time, he started going in to work 1 day a week and doing another day from home on the computer and has gradually increased his work hours and did 4 days at work last week.
He had a lung function test 2 weeks ago and they say he has 30% lung capacity so he will always do it tough but they are saying he should still be able to live a long and functional life which is fantastic.
That's brilliant Tony, so good to hear/read some good news at the moment.
You clearly breed’em tough Tony. Like father like son. You’ve all been through the mill big time & have not only survived, but are going from strength to strength. There is no doubt that every family member will have lost some bark along the way, but those losses can only have served to bring out the strengths of both individuals & the family. More power to your collective elbows.
Ah mate that is brilliant! OK he's got limited lung function but he seems to be managing back to a normal life. Wow. How tough can you get? So happy for him, you and your family mate and I think he's truly inspirational.Quote:

That's awesome Tomy. May hie have to put up with 30% lung function for at least another 60 years!
