    Update May 6, 2023

    Milan has been discharged from Hospital to start a full recovery from home. This is a huge step but still leaves quite a significant recovery ahead. The next six weeks will see Milan getting confident on his feet (he currently is starting to walk with crutch assistance and pain medication) and this will give his back time to heal. Milan has said if anyone wants advice with post-op constipation, prune juice is the way!! ;)

    After these initial six weeks he will have an assessment appointment to approve him starting physiotherapy. And then potentially another six weeks of strengthening and conditioning his back and surrounding muscles. Milan wanted to say he is so overwhelmed with the generosity of everyone who has donated. Both him and Miriam wanted me to say this -

    “we all cannot believe the support and love we have received, thank you all so much, we are blessed beyond words. We cannot thank you all enough and we value you all your messages and donations so, so much. We love you all” ♥️

  • Surgery Update

      4 May 2023

    Hi everyone - a little note to let you know that Milan has had his surgery and everything went to plan. He's currently recovering in Whangarei Hospital - hopefully he can do a lot of that at home sometime soon.

    They think approx 12 weeks.

    A HUGE thankyou from Milan and the Chick family for all your calls/visits/prayers - it is so appreciated! They are blown away by everyones donations too to help Milans wedding go ahead and have his expenses covered during this chapter. And also a thank-you to the team at Whangarei Hospital and Northland Rescue Helicopters.
