"You Saved My Life" - Sean Fitzgerald

Originally aired on Channel 9 in Australia, on the 1st of July 2009.

I've uploaded this on behalf of Sean, with permission from Channel 9.

A couple of corrections from Sean and Steph... * Colin and Margaret went to get help ON FOOT. They were coming out of a dead end track and could not get their car past Sean who was lying in the middle of the track. * The re-enactment shows Colin running up to Sean with Steph apparently "passed out" several metres away. What actually happened is that Colin and Margaret came back and talked to Steph and Sean for quite a while before Colin offered to help give mouth-to-mouth. After he took over, Steph stood up for the first time after having her head lower than her heart for several hours, and she felt so faint that she had to sit down. * Steph and Sean aren't quite sure how they managed to "get married" since his accident without either of them being invited :).


This is what more than three days of filming gets you! Congratulations to the crew including Producer Damian Comerford, Cameraman Wayne Vinten, researcher Sam Forsdike and of course the lovely Tara Brown.

Steph, watching this (even though I knew the story), crying my eyes out. So proud to 'know' you. Am so thrilled to see the love in his eyes, and in yours. Loved seeing him with Alex on the swing.

A beautiful family, with one of the most beautiful stories.
