With the averge age of the kneeboarder these days this area should be used to post issues on health matters (surfer's ear, knee surgery, stretches, etc).
Little Patrick, 7 months, had a stroke on Sunday resulting in a paralysed leg and arm. He's already making a fantastic recovery, he can move his leg again and has got some mobility in his arm. But although the hospital here in java has identified one stroke after a CT scan, they're worried there is something else they can't see and is still at risk.
We're taking him to Singapore tomorrow for further treatment. Please spare a thought for him - maybe some connecting energies in the universe will give him a helping hand. The idea that he may never be able to share in the things I love to do is unbearable, how would I ever be able to surf again knowing that he didn't even have the choice...
Here's a pic from hospital. You can see he's not at all worried and a lot braver than me or his mum!
i can't even imagine what you're going through.
hang in there...think positive
all of our prayers and all the best juju from this rock in the middle of the ocean will be sent your way!
aloha,

One of my sons had a bad accident about 2 years ago (he was 21 at the time).I felt helpless (still can't watch those hospital emergency prog's on TV) thank God he made it
can only imagine that what you and you partner are going thru.
You've got my prayers and all the good juju I can muster. Hang in there.
I live in my own little world, But it's OK they know me there.
Tom geez mate my thoughts are with you, being the father of four with one on the way that is a situation I dread. Hope your little bloke makes a full recovery and in a few short years your surfing waves in Java together. Singapore is the best place to be at the moment with all of the medical facilities they have. Mate if there is anything we can do for you just send a message, or give me a call...don't hesitate to ask.Our thoughts are with you, your wife and your little bloke, the Halbert family.
God bless your kid. I'll be praying from over here to make sure he comes out of this ok. Keep your mind positive that everything is going to be alright. Positive thinking brings positive things. And let God do the rest. Just ask him what you have to do to help and he'll lead the way. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
