Young boy affected by a concussion

Te Awamutu, Waikato

Keanu, only 10yrs old.

A boy that loves his sport.

Suffering and affected by a concussion.......

At first there were no signs of any damage, but as the weekend ticked along his eyes and ears got very sensitive. Wearing his sunglasses even in the house as the light is to sharp for his eyes.

It gets worse as time ticks away :(

Keanu's speech and body movements are slowly showing this has been affected too.

He is stuttering and can't walk on his own.

The doctor's have done tests and say it's just a bad concussion, so have sent him home saying any other medical assistance will need to be paid out of Antoinette and Danie's own pocket until residency is approved. Another doctor saying he has a virus in his brain. Mixed messages to this family......

New doctor's appointments have been made in Auckland and Tauranga for second, third and fourth options.

We pray for and with you for answers and the right medical assistance to get Keanu back on the sport field again.

Thanks to each and everyone that have supported the Coetzee family.

Keanu is currently back home and they are waiting for an opening at Wilson centre.

He needs a lot of physio.

He still is battling to see and hear.

Please keep praying for healing and medical care.
