Please help this amazing young family while Chris recovers from pneumonia in Wellington Hospital.

Marlborough

Chris and Brooke are an amazing young family, with their son Nico and another baby due to arrive in a few months they have a lot to look forward to. Unfortunately earlier in the week Chris was diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted to Wairau Hospital. He has been trying to let his body fight the infection but this evening the lack of sleep and exhaustion meant he could no longer do this on his own. Chris has been transferred to Wellington Hospital and placed on life support to allow his body to fight the infection and recover. Brooke is by his side. We need your help to assist Chris and Brooke so they can concentrate on getting Chris back fighting fit. Any donation is greatly appreciated, big or small.

Thank you so much x

Chris's Recovery Update  4 August 2017

Chris has been stable in Wellington Hospital this week and got to enjoy time with his son Nico on his 2nd birthday on Tuesday.

Today Chris is undergoing surgery to remove excess fluid from his lungs. This procedure will mean Chris will move back to ICU for a few days so nurses can monitor his chest drain and ensure the fluid continues to clear.

Chris has been able to to catch up with family and friends this week and passes on his thanks for the huge amount of support shown to his young family.

While he still has a long way to go, hopefully today's surgery will mean he can get on top of the infection once and for all.

We thank you again for your continued support, thoughts and prayers.

Kind Regards

Rach & Family
