Some of you will know that our Jonsie/Steve (one of the longest serving members of this forum and friend to many) .....was involved in a serious car accident in Thailand on Monday 20th February. He suffered head, chest and leg injuries and was being nursed on a ventilator
Due to the instability of his condition and the fact we weren't sure of the prognosis. I didn't post openly.. even though I had 'written' permission from the family.
Instead I contacted a lot of people via private message and other routes. It was agreed by myself and O2 management that I could post when Jonsie's condition started to improve.
Thankfully that day has arrived.
Steve has two sons who travelled to Thailand to be with their dad this weekend. I have received messages (and a picture) showing that he is now off the ventilator, sitting up in bed and managing Jonsie type conversations with his lads. (In between sleeping a lot which will be due to the pain relief he is receiving)
So great news.
If anyone wants to add good wishes please do so on this thread. (Even if you have sent them to me privately before) I will get them to Steve
As a nurse, I firmly believe in medicine and science. Due to the recovery Steve has made since his sons arrival at his bedside ...I also believe in the power of love.
Continue getting well Steve.

A bit of a bonus for Jonsie's friends and family today. Bearing in mind how ill he still is...suddenly and without any warning whatsoever....he posted on FB...telling one of his closest friends (who was a little unwell) to 'Keep his spirits up'....
Typical of Steve to think of others. Needless to say when we saw his post...he became the centre of attention. ....I don't think his friend was the slightest bit bothered about that. Like us, he was thrilled to bits to see Jonsie post....:smileywink:

I was so glad to see him write thar comment to his friend, I think judging by the responses, a lot of people were lol.
So glad he's on the mend.

@Anonymous then I'm guessing you're a Yorkshire lass? Hah so am I, although that's a very long time ago now!
@gindygoo took me a long time to get back to God's Green Acre / God's Own County, I won't be leaving White Rose County again
You can take the man out of Yorkshire ... but ... you can't take Yorkshire out of the man
Steve is my favourite person from Lancashire aka Red Rose County ... & ... he will know this
Keep On Recovering Jonsie ... we're all thinking about you XXX

Just had a short exchange on messenger which was really great.
He admits there is a long way to go but at least there is some positive progress now.
Yes he sent a picture to @viridis (not in hospital though) one of him sitting on his balcony ....Probably thinking 'them were the days' ...Bless

Any updates?
No specific news about his condition. Though a couple of us have had a very short chat with him via messenger..
I am waiting to hear back from one of his sons but only contacted him tonight. Jonsie is still in hospital and he has a long way to go. As soon as I hear anything I will post here. I have passed on every message from those who have posted on this thread. I know he really appreciates all your good wishes x.
