His family’s love and self-sacrificing care brought an accident victim back to life from a coma! And all this while floods rage around his house…
“They are both so brave. Because while Kathi’s father and my friend Renate had to fight the oncoming flood alone, Christian fought for his life in the intensive care unit of the hospital in St. Pölten,” says Zara Auferbauer, a family confidante, as she remembers what happened was probably the most dramatic challenge in the Wolf family’s lives.
The fate began on July 25 at Riederberg. Because on that day the previously happy world collapsed for the family from Judenau in the Tulln district. “My father was rammed on his motorcycle absolutely through no fault of his own and was seriously injured,” says Kathi Wolf, still fighting back tears in an interview with “Krone” about this accident tragedy.
A time of fear
A time of prayer, fear and despair came for the young publishing employee and her mother. Because even the courageous doctors at the state hospital in St. Pölten prepared the relatives for the worst every day. But they never gave up the fight for the life of the 50-year-old technical employee. “The team around senior physician Dr. Christian Wick cared for the patient in a self-sacrificing manner and in every respect. Lower Austria can be proud of such medical personnel,” assures Zara Auferbauer.
But before Christian woke from his coma, the women at home had to rebel against fate. Because the floodwater shot four meters high into the house that was previously so protected. Beds, photos and memories, clothes and shoes: everything was washed away within minutes. The 23-year-old’s car, which depends on donations, is also broken. Insurance only covers a fraction of material losses. “Nothing in the world could have replaced the man I love. It will still take a lot of love and patience, but things are going in the right direction for the three of us,” says Brigitte Wolf gratefully.
