TRAGIC ACCIDENT

29 October 2007, a tour in Russia.

The van with the band on board, crashes.

As a tragic result, Witek, the drummer dies.

Adrian himself, is severely injured.

Soon after being transported back to Poland, Adrian undergoes a highly complex neo surgical operation, at the University Hospital in Krakow.

The operation, at a time considered successful.

36^th hour of pharmacological coma, concluded, due to medical negligence, with a cardiac arrest and defused cerebral hypoxia

23 April 2008 after six months treatment at the hospital Adrian is finally brought back home.

COSTLY TREATMENT

Adrian has been treated not only at home, but also in medical and rehabilitation centres.

Adrians home has been facilitated in order to speed up the most efficient way to his recovery.

All the innovative methods applied, require huge involvement of many highly qualified people and whats more, great financial input, far beyond affords of his family .

Regular medical consultations often a long distance away from home, have now become more frequent thanks to the purchase of a specially designed and adjusted to Adrians needs vehicle. Now the transport is much more feasible.

The total cost of Adrians treatment and expensive neurological medications rests exclusively on his family.

PROGRESS

The breakthrough happened just after removing an artificial larynx cannula. Since then Adrian has attempted eating by himself. There is also progress in learning to stand up to be observed. Still, however he is conscious, there is no communication with him. Every single day, Adrian requires full 24 hour paramedical care.

A range of rehabilitation methods and activities has already been involved. Including: 36 hours weekly of physiotherapy rehabilitation, logopedic therapy, special therapeutic massages and also 10 hour nurse care daily. Frequent medical consultations are ongoing demand.
