Christian (Prank) Very Unwell

[Duncan]

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

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!

[tweety bird]

i hope you get/feel better soon Christian.

[Daleo]

Sounds like he's a fighter to have made it this far.

Thoughts to him and his loved ones at what must be a very tough time.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I'm sure the entire SAU community feels the same.

We Salute you.

Haven't had the opportunity to meet Christian but echoing what everyone else has said and would like to send best wishes and positive thoughts to him and his family!

Christian, get better soon champ! all the best for a speedy recovery!

[Pezhead]

Wow, I had no idea he fell ill.

Hope all the best for a speedy recovery. Duncan, is there anything we could do as a club to send him a car package or something?

[a20089]

All the best. Shame bad things seem to happen to the good people

[GTR-N1]

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.

[Aggroman]

sums it up quite nicely.. ^^^ what he said

Best wishes for you and ur family, will hopefully see you again at the Anniversary this year

[N1GTR]

The worst things happen to the nicest people unfortunately.

C is a dead set legend and genuinely nice bloke, he doesn't deserve this.

[BunsenBurna]

I remember corresponding with Christian many many years ago when I first was on these forums.Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.

[Kinks]

Woah.. that's not good! (to say the least). Get well soon, Christian!

[Victory]

I have only met Christian a couple of times and you would not find a nicer bloke.

I hope you have a speedy recovery mate from a very serious medical condition.

[PN-Mad]

All the best for a full recovery Prank. May you have the best medical care possible, and know that may people are thinking and praying for your well being in this hard time.

[GoldZilla]

Indeed, if it wasn't for Christian, we'd still be lurking SkylinesDownunder.

Very best wishes for a speedy and full recovery!
