Help Zac's family as he recovers from a stroke
Zac Vickers, aged 33, suffered a stroke on June 21st caused by a blood clot on his brain.
Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty
At 4.30am on Friday the 21st, Zac had a stroke caused by a large clot on his brain. Life saving medicine was administered at Tauranga Hospital at 6am and then he was transferred to Auckland Hospital for a clot removal. Further scans in Auckland showed the TPA medicine had dissolved the clot.
He was transferred back to Tauranga hospital to start his recovery on the 23rd. He will need speech and balance therapy there as part of his recovery.
