2011_07_12 Old School Road Caledon Rider Down

Update, 9 pm Thursday: Another surgery today, not good news, the injury list keeps growing. Shattered hip, fractured sternum and lacerated spleen. However, the major concern is the leg, there is a lot of contamination, a 5 hour surgery to remove debris and damaged tissue, infection is the main enemy here, it cannot be allowed to spread. His spirits were up yesterday, I'm hoping they will still be up tomorrow.

I came across this website while looking for more details of the accident. I'm a friend of the family. Lawrence remains in critical condition. Sergeries are going to be ongoing for quite some time. they're anticipating about 6 months in hospital and then even longer in rehab. there has been a lkink set up on facebook to send messages to his family and Lawrence himself.

Thank you for the update Tonella!
Please give Laurence my best wishes for the most speedy recovery possible!
 
Thank you, Tonella. Everyone is pulling for Laurence. He's a tough guy and he will pull through with flying colours. Sending positive thoughts, prayers and well wishes. <3
 
According to the latest update from Tonella on the Facebook group, Laurence is doing well, and is actually heading home in the next couple of days, well ahead of the original timeframe. There is still a lot of healing and therapy to go through, but he's moving in the right direction.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers, i am in fact going home on Monday but i do indeed have much time left in rehab, i am hopefull that i will be walking by Christmas, recently saw surgeon and he has allowed me to put 20% weight on my left leg and should be able to put full weight at the end of October. I am staying very positive and have beaten many odds and i firmly believe you can do anything you put your mind to, i will make a full recovery and be riding and teaching in the spring of 2012, cheers, Laurence
