The other son of Ron Brandsteder, the lesser -known Bob – he is Rick’s brother -, still cannot move his arm and will never be able to do that again. “Nerves torn off.”
It was a big drama for the Ron Brandsteder family in 2017: the brother of Rick Brandsteder, Robert (who is called Bob) the two -year -old brother, who was called Bob), seriously fell on the stairs. In addition, he was partly paralyzed. They immediately did an MRI in the VU and it showed that the nerves in his arm had been torn off from the spinal cord.
Paralyzed
The worries of Ron and his wife Yvonne were great. Because Bob suddenly became needy, they bought a home near Rick for him so that he could assist him. “Physically, little has changed in his situation. He still can’t move his left arm, “Yvonne said a year ago.
The Brandsteder family is rich, but there is no doctor who can help. “He can do a little more because of physiotherapy, but the paralysis remains. Of course we have been looking for the best doctors in recent years, but there is no one who can do anything for him … “
In the well
Ron told in at the time Story That Bob has a hard time with it. “Bob has been in the well for a long time. But now that he sees that there is hope and he gets used to his new life situation, he picks up his life again. I am extremely proud of Bob, how he deals with everything that happened to him. ”
It was difficult for Ron to see how his son suffered from the suffering. “I shouldn’t think about it myself.”
Decided
Evert Santegoeds now tells in the latest episode of the podcast Strictly private That Bob also the reason is that Ron’s funeral was decided on Monday. “It was in a very private circle and we left it that way. I had enough information to send a photographer to it, but I think: if the family really doesn’t want to … “
“I could imagine something about that, and I also believe what is behind it that the family really doesn’t want to … I believe that the youngest son of Ron and Yvonne does not want to be in the picture. Yes, well, I respected that. It seems to have been a nice farewell. If this is the wish of the family, then we have respected that. “
