A Merc pulling a trailer in front of Braam swerved to avoid a squirrel in the road, the trailer jacked knifed leaving Braam with no option, but to put the bike down. The car and trailer did not stop to help and left the scene of the accident, two guy’s on bicycles stopped and assisted.

Anyone wishing to read an update on Braam's condition log into the ulysses western cape web site, www.ulysseswc.co.za they seem to be posting news there. He is still in ICU and has broken ribs at the front and the back and is on a ventilator, although it seems he will be OK in time.

Hi All, Thank you so much for all the prayers, calls, smses, messages etc. Dad is on the road to recovery, but it remains a long road ahead... He has already made so much progress!!! He took himself off the ventilator on Friday night - typical fighter that he is! His entire left ribcage is broken, they have now removed the drain from his lung as the puncture has healed. His left lung is still collapsed, but he is doing physio for it every hour. They will operate on his Collarbone and Scapula once he is stable. He is putting up one hell of a fight. He was able to walk yesterday with the support of a trolley, only a few steps, but the Docotor's are amazed that he was able to do it. I would like to keep everyone updated, but finding it hard to make the time. Spend most of our time in the ICU with him. I do however do updates on Facebook every day, so if you wish to know more you can add me Anne van den Berg. My Dad sends his regards and thanks to ALL!!! Love Anne

Great news Anne. Fast may be his progress. Geoff

Good News Braam is out of ICU. Visiting hours are from 3-4 and from 7-8 ward 8 2Mil hospital Wynberg. All the very best with your recovery.
