The family ripped apart when a tree fell on a moving car in Fernshaw earlier this month has revealed their youngest son is no longer fighting for life in intensive care.

Mother Angie Suryadi was killed in the freak accident on August 9 while she was taking her husband, Arnold Aditiasvara, and their two children on a snow trip for a birthday celebration.

Mr Aditiasvara and their 4-year-old son, Oliver, were both injured in the accident on the Black Spur highway.

Ms Suryadi’s nephew Richard Suryadi told the Herald Sun both are still in hospital but were recovering.

“Oliver is now out of ICU and is in a stable condition at the Royal Melbourne Children’s Hospital,” Richard Suryadi said.

“He is breathing on his own, he is recovering.

“Oliver is still not 100 per cent, he is stable.

“We are happy from when he was in ICU to now, how much he has improved.

“It is a long road to recovery but all the signs are positive.”

Richard Suryadi also said Mr Aditiasvara was still in hospital.

“Arnold is in a stable condition in the Alfred Hospital, and has just undergone his sixth surgery for his ankle injury,” Richard Suryadi said.

“Physically he has got a long road to recovery with his leg injury but he went to see Oliver for the first time yesterday and that was a positive experience for both of them.

“It was really good, really emotional.

“Jonathan is well and is currently being looked after by family.”

Ms Suryadi’s funeral was held yesterday in Brighton and attended by family and friends including husband Arnold and eldest son Johnathon, 5, who was not injured in the accident.

“It was a good turnout and a great show of community and love for Angie,” he said.

“Family has come from overseas.”

Richard Suryadi said he and his father Irwan Suryadi had travelled twice from Canberra to be at the family’s bedside.

“We are working through it, it is a shared effort,” he said.

“We are putting in what we need to in order to make sure the whole process is smooth.”

They said the family were grateful for the support they has received.

“Special thanks to the SES Marysville, Victorian Ambulance Service Marysville, The Country Fire Authority, Victorian Police Lilydale and the Transport Accident Commission,” a family statement said.

“We would like to thank all the staff and nurses at the Royal Melbourne Children’s Hospital and the Alfred Hospital including the amazing work by the Social Workers and the Australian for Christ Church.

“Thanks to those members of the public that comforted the members of the family until emergency services arrived at the accident and all those friends who have supported the family in the last 2 weeks.”

Ms Suryadi, 41, and her family moved to Australia from Indonesia about four years ago and

was remembered as a “genuine” and “bubbly” soul by friends and family.
