Patrick O'Sullivan released from hospital one month after serious accident at fete Patick O'Sullivan, 5, with his dad and grandfather, both called Barry, as he prepares to leave hospital. PIC: Liam Kidston. WEARING a Maroons jersey and a big smile, no one would guess the trying month that young Patrick O'Sullivan and his family have endured. The five-year-old's infectious smile and shout of "Queenslander!" is back little more than a month after he was thrown from the Frisbee ride during a school fair in Toowoomba in late May. Watching Patrick and his eight-year-old brother Nick playing soccer together on Patrick's last day at the Mater Children's Hospital, his dad Barry O'Sullivan said he was thankful for the family's "little miracle." "He's showing the traits of the little boy that he was, he's walking and talking and everything," he said. His reaction to getting home has been quite positive and he wants to get back to his brothers. At his last night at the hospital, Patrick tried to watch his beloved Maroons win Origin II - but fell asleep before it started. Patrick's father said the boy would start school in a staged approach in three to six months and would be continued to be monitored every couple of weeks. He thanked Mater Children's Hospital and the wider community for their support. Of course there were a lot of difficult times over these five weeks but with the support and care from our community it has helped us get through. But no big treats will be waiting for Patrick when he returns to his Toowoomba home today. We can't spoil him... we want to get back to a normal life at home. Mr O'Sullivan said the family had no interest in further investigations into the incident that injured their little boy. "Accidents happen and we have no interest in what's happened," he said. Our only interest is just in bringing him back to the boy he was, 100 per cent.
