MEMBER UPDATES
Peter McCall - called Jo from ICU to say he is fine! Currently he is still in ICU at Dandenong Valley Private Hospital. He was operated on Monday to remove blood clots on the brain. These were from a fall a few weeks ago. His admission to Hospital was as a result of a fall last Friday where he again hit his head on the concrete. All went well.
Peter will be in the ICU for a few days and then in a ward for 4/5 days before going to rehab . No calls or visits to Peter until he is back in the ward. Kaye will keep us updated.
Warren Johnson - was in hospital following surgery. Is home by now, and feeling much better.
