Last post by Jewelz^ - July 09, 2025, 04:45:05 PMHi guys,
It's been just over five weeks since I shared the first update about Gibbo's accident, and I'm really happy to say he's been making steady improvements every single week.
I've been visiting him regularly — every week since that first post — and it's been incredible to see the changes. He no longer needs the feeding tube through his nose and is now eating and drinking well on his own. He's also no longer 100% reliant on his ventilator, which is a huge step forward.
He's been making small but meaningful gains in movement too. Last week, he managed to pinch his thumb and finger together — something that might sound small, but in reality, pretty massive. Even more encouraging, he's been getting spasms in his legs and often complains of a "numb bum" which, whilst funny, and we laugh about it, is actually a very good sign. His neurologist, who has 19 years of experience, told his mum that he might walk again one day — something we never thought we'd hear, especially after what the neurosurgeon in Kings initially said.
Every time I've seen Gibbo, he's been so positive and full of that cheeky energy we all know and love. Yesterday he told me his trachy can come out in about 3 weeks and he's hoping that means he'll finally be out of his special room in ICU and be able to see his daughter.
It honestly feels like he's nearly out of the woods now and he can start focusing on building back his strength and movement. There's still a long road ahead, but the direction is finally starting to feel hopeful.
Thank you all for the love, messages, and good vibes you've sent Gibbo's way — they're working. I'll keep you posted with more updates as he continues to defy the odds.
Cheers guys, J

Last post by Penfold - July 03, 2025, 02:12:57 PMOh crap.
Just seeing this for the first time and that's awful.
So, so sorry to hear this and please send on my best wishes to him. He's a fantastic guy and really doesn't deserve this crap-fest. :-(
Please keep us in the loop and I hope for the best possible of outcomes for him.
