It was a freak accident that occurred in a split second when 75-year-old John Kennerley fell and broke his neck at Bonville Golf Club in March.
Dedicated wife Kerri-Anne Kennerley has been at her husband’s hospital bedside as he recovers from the shock spinal cord injury.
John has been on a ventilator since the incident but continues to defy doctors with ‘small miracles’ as Kerri-Anne describes them.
Doctors had tried to remove the ventilator several times over the past 3 months but when they finally did, John was ‘scared,’ she recalls.
The 62-year-old television personality says: ‘It was the most profound sense of relief I have ever felt. That was the moment when I felt he’d really come back to me’
Once he was discharged from Intensive Care, Kerri-Anne took to Instagram in the afternoon with a photo of him on a hospital gurney surrounded by medical staff, thanking them for their attention.
‘After 6 and half weeks in Intensive Care John is moving to the spinal unit,’ she wrote in the caption.
Kerri-Anne has been seen heading to Sydney’s Prince Of Wales Hospital in Randwick where she continues to visit him daily.
We wish John all the best with his recovery.
