Sydney bound.
My brother is doing a lot better; hopefully all of his IV lines will be out today. That will make a big difference to his comfort levels without doubt. He is also now finally eating and drinking (albeit in a carefully monitored way). I'm very happy with his progress and hopefully he'll be home within a few days.
He's a lucky kid, not just because he survived the accident...but because I am spoiling him rotten! Since he has been so brave and since he won't be back to school for a while after returning home, I've been setting up his bedroom so that he'll be completely comfortable. I'm buying him some new furniture and an esky full of Coca-Cola (he's "dying for a Coke", he tells me). He's also been dying for an Xbox 360, which my parents would never buy him. So I went and picked up a premium package and I also bought him a GTA box set for PS2 (since his beloved San Andreas disc was broken a while ago). So he's going to be a very happy patient! (And I'm going to be an increasingly poor older brother).
Thanks to everyone for their kind wishes, too. I really appreciate it. And I'm amazed that you're still around, Ger! Welcome back! I hope you are here to stay a little longer this time. Guffaw and all that, old bean. ~_^
In addition to all of this, I might be making a trip up to Sydney within the coming weeks. I have thought about bringing my brother, as he has never been interstate before (and he's the only one in our family who hasn't). So we'll see how that goes.
While I'm here I should mention a little idea I've had. I'd like to do some sort of weekly news post on theOtaku.com, where I can showcase the latest interesting OB threads. I could also profile the odd member or two as well. This would really provide great recognition for those who contribute to OB and it would hopefully encourage fellow Otakuites to jump into those threads themselves. Is this an idea any of you would support (for those of you who are OBers)?
