Doctors in Thailand are fighting to save the life of an Australian man who spent 11 days lost in a Laos jungle.
Forty-year-old Hayden Adcock, from Melbourne, went missing during a trek in Laos on July 31 and was rescued 11 days later.
He remains critically ill in a Bangkok hospital.
His father Stan Adcock lives at Yandina on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and he says his son's condition has deteriorated in the last few days.
"It is a difficult time for me but I don't suppose it is as difficult as it is for Hayden," he said.
"He's in quite a bit of trouble and Lyn, my former wife, she's also feeding me information.
"I thought the two family members would be enough and that I'd stay home and keep the home fires burning so to speak, but now that he's so sick I suppose that I do wish that I was there but I'm not so I'll just stay here."
