Huge thanks
28 April 2018
Casper’s family wish to thank all the generous donors to our page, and express our deep appreciation of your generosity over the last months – in particular, those we have not known to thank personally. Your gifts eased our financial stress considerably over the time of Cassie’s operation, intense post-op weeks in Starship, Wilson Centre, and then after Christmas, at home.
His rehab is continuing slowly – as we had been told to expect, (somewhat frustratingly slow). By later January he was getting onto his knees again and during February his motivation to move returned. He is now just beginning to be able (with support) to put a little weight on his legs for a few moments. He is continuing to have weekly physio at Wilson Centre plus some physio at school. All this has meant far more use of a wheelchair, a lot more lifting, and the need for two people at times.
What is good is that he seems to be out of pain, and we are still hopeful and focused on encouraging and helping him get back to being able to hold himself upright. He is back to swimming once most weeks and is now kicking well and evenly with both legs.
So again, many, many, thanks for your support,
Warm regards, Casper and family
