Thank you all for your kind thoughts
The hunting and fishing community in Darwin have kicked in big time to help the boy out with all the costs involved. Certainly a real bad bunch hunters and fisherman, seem to read in the papers all the time, can't be trusted bla bla.
Funny how often it seems to be these very people who go out of their way to help in situations like this

I have found that people's willingness to react and extend a hand of help in times of great personal tragedy is very telling of their true character. In the face of adversity the good people step up to the plate and the not so good leave the ball park. I'm glad you found a group of folks willing to rally around the cause. Give your family our best.

Our daughter in law who lives in Darwin, the tropics for thos unfamiliar was bitten on the hand by a spider a few weeks back. Within days the hand turned black and she got very sick, off to hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to cut away the necrosis, kidneys shut down, lower lungs collapsed, placed in a coma and on life support.
By the end of the week all the flesh on her right arm had been removed due to necrosis, then she started to come good, skin grafts went well, breathing tubes removed, had her first shower and saw the kids properly that evening, we were all happy and excited.
10.00am next morning she died suddenly, doctors said a blood clot travelled to her heart, they fought like crazy to disolve the clot and get her back but no luck
34 years old 3 kids, the youngest 17 months with a severe genetic illness. Kinda puts things in perspective eh?
Johno That is terrible, I'm sorry for your loss.
