Every parent's worst nightmare

  • Healing

      31 October 2021

    We’re home now and hunters been healing very well and back to his great personality we all love. District nurses very happy and he only has one more open wound to heal which nurse believes will heal fine and hunter won’t need skin grafts which is exciting for us then just a visit to see scar specialist in Dunedin. Back to school next week with his special compression clothing to help with the scars healing. We would love to do a big shout out to everybody that has donated and thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Much love back to you all.

    An update from Stacey: "Jimmy and I are humbled by everybody’s thoughtful messages and donations, it’s over whelming for us to handle on top of what our wee boys have been through and what struggles hunter faces each day here in hospital. Hunter has come leaps and bounds in a week from being sedated, incubated, feeding tube ,catheter and wrapped up like a mummy from knees to face. Today was his second anesthetised dressing change as it’s still way to painful, he’s hit amazing milestones with catheter out yesterday and now we just need him to eat solids and be rid of the feeding tube. Plastics doctors are very happy with his healing and so are we.

    Thank you Kia kaha."

    This is the most recent picture of Hunter after Stacey gave him a wash and combed his hair (for those who know Hunter this may have caused some trauma!). Jimmy and Stacey are obviously exhausted - long days/nights at the hospital and all the stress and uncertainty around the recovery. I know this money has will allow them to focus on Hunter's recovery and their own self care rather than stressing about the costs involved. They are obviously a much loved family and your contributions are heart warming in these crazy uncertain times of Covid. Many thanks Claire x
