Duncan Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi All, I am not sure if everyone is aware of this, but the founder of these forums and the club, Christian, has had a very serious medical issue 2 days ago. He is very lucky to be alive. His wife Bec sent the following update: For anyone that doesn't know Christian had an aortic aneurism and had emergency cardiac surgery on Wednesday as it split his aorta and coronary arteries. Thankyou for your love and thoughts, I know he appreciates them so much as do I. He is stable now but on a ventilator which they hope to get him breathing on his own today so they can get him off it. if you could please send him thoughts of strength today that would be so helpful. Bec This club would never have existed without Christian's efforts, and equally, most of us probably would never have met without his creation and maintenance of these forums. And, he is a damn good bloke who has never failed to try to do the right thing in the 10+ years I have known him. All the best with your recovery, Christian Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/398231-christian-prank-very-unwell/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTSKY Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I was thinking the same thing earlier today. For some of us we owe alot to Christian without even knowing it. Thoughts go out to him and his family for a speedy recovery!

GTR-N1 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Prayer of comfort for you Bec and Christian and other close family. Prayer of thanks that certain brilliant medical staff have been able to diagnose an extremely difficult problem and so far, fix it. Prayer that God willing, a full recovery is in order for a passionate gentleman who has been an instrumental backbone of the construction of one of the best car clubs in this whole nation.
