Help needed
Hamilton, Waikato
Arlo was attacked by a dog Friday afternoon. The dog locked on after throwing him around like a rag doll. He had no chance with the very large dog even though his father, uncle and 15 year old brother were straight there. The attack took place in front of his 5 siblings and mother, Cassidy. He had to be stabilised in Tauranga and was airlifted to Hamilton hospital Saturday. He went to theatre at 12.00 and was as taken to ICU at 10 that night. They had 30 specialists in theatre all with different skills plus usual hospital staff. He is now recovering but the road will be very long the family needs support to get through this

Arlo Update 2 July 2024
At this stage arlo is still in the high dependency unit, he has had another mri the other day to try and look for further damages which showed stress fractures in his neck and back along with the fracture in his leg, face and skull. The doctors say he is coming along really well and should be out of the high dependency unit later this week. He has had part of the cast on his leg removed yesterday to better examine the puncture wounds on his foot/leg. He still has a few surgerys is store for him with doctors needing to remove stitches around his eyes and another few procedure so he will still be in hospital for a while yet. He's in high spirits and is getting out of bed for rides around the hospital in his chair assisted by his parents, brothers and sisters. It's still a long road to go in recovery but every day seems to be a step in the right direction. We appreciate all the help and messages while we get through these hard times
