Update on Cam – Day 10
Article posted on Monday, July, 27th, 2009 at 8:07 am
Hey Guys,
I’m sorry I missed an update yesterday, after leaving the hospital, Dad, Monz and myself went to see a Real Madrid match, by the time it finished i had to go straight back to the hospital to stay the night.
So Day 10, Cam is going great. He can now get into his wheel chair regularly and go outside for some fresh air. Getting in and out of the chair can still be a struggle as his right side is very weak but as the days go by he gets stronger. His memory continues to get better and he is actually starting to get a cheeky with us and the hospital staff.
Tomorrow will see another MRI scan of his brain to make sure everything is ok and that the bleeding has stopped. When he receives the results on Wednesday, they will be able to determine when he can leave Spain for Australia. We are hopefull that it will be Friday. Once Cam is home, the rehab will start and he will need a lot of time relaxing. At the moment they are saying 6-12 months off the bike, I think it will be a lot closer to 6 than 12.
As I write this, i’m at the Madrid Airport waiting for my flight home. Mum, Dad, Brooke and Monz will stay in Madrid to look after Cam while i have to get home to work.
Spain and it’s people have been amazing, i’ve made a lot of new friends and i look forward to returning to Spain under much better circumstances.
Thanks again to all the crew at Red Bull Spain for being so supportive, I don’t think we could have got through this without you.
I have a long trip home and by the time i get there we should have the results from Cam’s MRI Scan and an update of when he will likely return to Australia. I’ll keep you informed as soon as i can.
I’m sorry this is short but i’m about to miss my flight. Thanks for the posistive comments and your support.

Great news! Hopefully everyones thoughts and prayers are helping all of you in some small way … Wow I am impressed with Cam’s strength … he can still do the unimaginable and still surprise us all (backflips aside)! Still thinking of you guys and it shouldnt surprise you that we appreciate the personal updates on Cam’s progress.
So happy to read about him recovering and getting stronger day after day.
Since the day of the accident (we have witnessed it at Las Ventas) our thoughts and prayers have been going to Cam and his family. Amazing how strong he is.
We wish him all the best for his recovery! He can be happy to have a family that supports him that much.

Hi sincs,maybe you dont remember me, we meet at jakarta at the Indonesian supercross championship at june 2006,that was the first time i saw FMX live . . and you and adelberg bring it in front of my eyes . . then we talk at the pit area , i say to you that we have same helmet fox v3 white wall,and you say “bring ur helmet here i will peel the same sticker in my helmet” so i say “wow i have a sinclair replica helmet . .
That was my story with you champ . . get better soon so i can read ur news again at freerider magazine . . thanks for bring FMX world in my heart . .
I was there that night 10 days ago in Las Ventas and obviously shocked by the terrible crash. But I also saw Cameron as a superb athlete and great entertainer that night, and it’s heartening to see he is making good progress. Well done, best of luck for the scan tomorrow, and I hope the trip back to Australia at the weekend goes well.
Wonderful!! That’s really great news! We’re so excited and relieved that he’s doing so much better and we will continue to send positive thoughts his way!
Thank you so much for doing such a great job on keeping everyone informed and if there’s anything you guys need, please let us know.
We have no doubt he’ll soon be back to his old tricks and we will be there to support him when he does.
Cheers!
The Team at ASA Entertainment

Good to hear Cam is getting better and wish him all the best in his recovery. He is one of the real gentleman of the sport and my son Cooper who Cam has signed many posters for will be happier after shedding a tear when he saw his crash on the news. Hopefully Cam will be back in Victoria soon and he is welcome down at the Hastings Blue Light Motorcycle Track anytime to assist in his recovery.
Mucha fuerza Cameron! Animos desde Mallorca, estamos contigo!! Un abrazo.

Thank God you are O.K when mum showed me the footage I paniced but it made me relise just how dangerous your job and how motor bike riding is an you will still always be my hero……….. from Ty, aged 10
Have been thinking about cam all week this has been my first chance to get on the net. thanks for the updates on how he’s doing. Hopefully he will be able to fly home. My son was in a car accident last year and in rehab at epworth. they were fantastic. Cam will come along in leaps and bounds with good rehab staff.(where ever he goes) All the best many thoughts are with you.

Hi Mick,
hope Cam, Brooke, mum and dad are already back in Victoria. Every day I had a few looks for some great news, but I can imagine that you are very busy at the moment.
Maybe you can give us a short update soon. All the best from Austria, karin
Cam,
I check your website all the time to see how you are.
I’m 55, but not too old to be a fan! My son, Trevor and his fiancee Renee are really big fans of yours, but Renee’s seven year old son Ryan thinks you’re the absolute best. They’ve met you and you were so nice to Ryan. That’s three generations of keen motorcyclists who think you’re a really great guy and a wonderful talent. We’re all so glad to hear you’re recovering so well and so fast…. probably not fast enough for you though!
All the best and hang in there Mate.
