Yet remarkably he has since recovered from the accident and has even gone on to marry the woman he calls an "absolute gem". He said Mr Smith's condition was "touch and go" while he was flown to Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital.Mr Baigrie said he was amazed by Mr Smith's recovery. "I cried and yelled at him on the phone and asked him how bad it was. He said, 'I don't know but you're not allowed to come here'. And so obviously I went."She flew in the helicopter with her fiancé and said she feared the worst during the 30-minute flight to Brisbane.

"I just used to talk to him and [our son] Hudson would come in and talk to him. And I would just do recordings on my phone if Hudson couldn't be there and play them to Tim while he was asleep."
