Rev HARRY DERKLEY - CAR ACCIDENTThe following email has been received concerning Rev Harry Derkley: On July 1st Harry derkley had a serious car accident after which he was flown to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne. He has a serious head injury which has caused bruising and swelling of the brain along with several broken ribs and also his lungs collapsed. I have just received an email from his daughter that the hospital staff are reasonably confident that there is no major brain damage and should make a reasonable recovery although he will be very confused for some time. Despite this he has been placed into an induced coma to help in the recovery process. He is not allowed any visitors other than immediate family but with Betty now in a nursing home it is also a difficult time for her. Please remember this whole situation in your prayers and especially that Harry may be able to make a speedy recovery.
