Update 2: Jelle #37

JvG #37 — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:13:17 +0000

After a couple of difficult days I at least heard from the Doctors good news and on Sathurday before Eastern the ventilator got out and I was aible to speak again some words!

It costed me a lot of ice cubes to get some enough voice control again but it was wonderful to communicate!
It was also great for Bas to see that, because he should leave that day to go to the Netherlands and my teammates to prepare for the SX in Norway.

Some hours later I left Intensive Care and became on the 10th Floor at room 24 and we started with my recovering program and I could eat and drink normally!
I got a lot of tests and after 2 days the doctors where glad with the progress and they discharged me!

So I could go to the Mariott Hotel where my Father was staying and thats was Super!
Of course I was very tired and slept still a lot but every day that is getting better and so we have now a little Quality time for us and thats also good for my recovering.

And I saw all the reactions on Facebook, Twitter and mail and got information about the many people who are concerned.
All the reacts are wonderful and will help me to recover!

Thanks and greetings.

Greetings,

Update Jelle #37

JvG #37 — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:04:41 +0000

Many people were watching the Supercross race when Jelle crashed and many were very concerned about him and tried to find out how he was at all. All weekend you heard many different stories, some were very scary for us.

Thanks to Bas de Bever how is still with him in the hospital in San Diego and for to his help to contact us every morning about Jelle’s condition! Also thanks to every one in the hospital how helped him with his injuries and the care to give him. And of course the KNWU for their help to Jelle and Bas.

At this momen he’s still has to breath with a ventilator to help his lungs and is in a sleepcondition, further a couple off broken ribs and a deep cut in his knee and a heavy concussion! So Jelle has still a long way to go but all signs are good! We have not yet spoken with Jelle since the accident but John will fly on friday to the States, and directly go to visit him at the hospital.

Thanks to all the people how send us and Jelle the best wishes and we will send a update later on this week! Hopefully he will be back and healthy soon!

Greetings,

Sanne, Jelle, John en José van Gorkom
