Help bring Sally Catt's son, Angus, Home

Posted on behalf of Dr Christine De Nardo, Manager, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health

Our thoughts are with Sally Catt from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and her family as they surround their son Angus who is in an induced coma following a tragic accident that took place on 22 January. Please see below for a message from Sally posted to her Facebook page on 25 January, as well as a link to a fundraising page set up by family and friends. 

Sally, we send you collective strength and pray that you can bring Angus home soon. 

A message from Sally Catt posted to Facebook on 25 January: 

Most know now but for those that don't, eldest son Angus Catt has had a tragic fall on early hours of Sunday morning from a fourth floor rooftop in Seoul Korea- while holidaying with his brother Will Catt. He's had emergency surgery on his brain but has multiple injuries- and hasn't regained consciousness- he's in an induced coma and will not know anymore news of his chances of survival for the next few days but we are all hoping for a miracle. I'm now in Seoul with my niece Emily Swales, Will and his truly amazing Korean girlfriend Martina who has done so much to make this horrendous experience as smooth as possible . PCR test done and i'm allowed to visit him tomorrow . So grateful already for the outpouring of love, support and prayers. Angus has had the best xmas - holiday with cousins in aus and then in Korea - here are some recent happy snaps of this crazy gorgeous son of mine.   

An update (friday)

I am overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of love and support. I had my 15 minutes with Angus last night- it was amazing to hold him tight and talk to him- he is still in an induced coma and in the next days we will find out if he is able to breathe unassisted.

Help bring Angus home by donating here.
