00:00Greg's going really well for what he's been through. He's been through a hell of a lot.

00:05He's got 16 broken ribs. He's had a broken arm which had surgery yesterday.

00:12And then he's got also a broken or a fractured ankle which will be getting repaired at a later date.

00:20When we first found out, we didn't think it was as serious as it was until we got to the hospital.

00:27He was getting blood transfusions and it was touch and go there.

00:33Saturday, once they got him stabilised, he seemed to get a lot better.

00:38And every time he'd wake up, he was just so strong.

00:44Every time we saw him, he always gave us a thumbs up. He's so tough.
