Title: Our thoughts and prayers to Hutchie
Post by: GGV8Cruza on March 20, 2025, 07:51:10 PM
Some may be aware but there are many that have crossed paths with Hutchie. Around a week ago Hutchie had an accident off a ladder. He is currently in hospital in a bad way and is in the best care that he can have. Our thoughts and well wishes go to him, his wife Wendy and the family.

I will update more as it comes to hand.

Terrible news.
Recover quickly.

That is, my biggest fear, falling off a ladder.


You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

Hutchie is great value - always has been...
Always willing to share and give.
When my daughter was young, she called him master chef as he always shared his roast dinner!

Very sad to hear hes in a bad way..
No Doubt he will be getting best care.
Hope Wendy is getting support she needs too.

Todays update via Linda Pearce from Wendy..  Approved for posting.

Hey guys, Wendy rang me today and she is taking a break and came home for one night. So anyway she said that the last two days hutchie has been stable but up until then and since his last op for the brain bleed his brain has been spiking with swelling pretty bad up and down so he was classed as critical but stable. Anyway, they r starting to wake him up from yesterday and they r doing it very very slowly over a week, and the dr suggested to Wendy that she go home for a day or two because the next 7 days r going to get really rough. The Dr also said that he won't work again and their is also a chance that he may not wake up at all,they just don't know.They don't know what his outcome will b until he wakes up.The Dr told her that u can get two ppl with the exact same brain injury and one could come out of it with really bad brain damage the the other with only minor damage, they just don't know yet. Wendy said that she felt him twitch yesterday.So I suggest we send as many good vibes,and or prayers(whatever yer into) as we all can.

Lets keep Hutchie in our minds for the next week or so.

Previous messages were about how he may not have actually "fell" off the ladder, but had a minor stroke whilst up there...

I still Remember back in 2012 as a new member organising the Kelly Country camp at Tolmie, where I first met up with most of the Myswag Crew.

Hutchie and Speewa were amongst the first arrivals. Big Jules came down from Sydney.  Bruce, Swannie, and a lot of other not currently active members came along. 

A great Weekend.

Link to it  seems to not be active anymore..  :'(

A great memory spent with him and other Forum members

No real change in his health in the last couple of days.
