For those of you that dont already know what the Hoopers have been going through lately. Here is their story.
On a much anticipated dream family holiday things went down hill really fast. Leonie's speech was strange, confusion, dribbling, difficulty writing and the right side of face went droppy
It appeared like she had had a stroke. As soon as arriving back in nz she was sent straight to hospital and that’s when everything began to unfold a huge mass was found in her brain and she needed sugury urgently. The family was told that in sugury anything could happen but they would do the best they can. The operation went well but the wait was awful for the family. She had been doing well but took a turn for the worst, it was discovered she had two clots in her lungs from sugury which could have killed her but she has always been a fighter. It really has been a roller coaster with many things unexpectedtally going wrong and new health problems occurring.
Now she is extremely week and once all the medication and treatments are done she will have to go to rehab to help with walking and building up are strength as she is currently so weak. She is on a feeding tube 16 hours a day and on oxygen. The surgeons keep saying it’s a day by day process and somewhat of a medical mystery.
Five weeks since arriving at the hospital with an expected month longer all going well. The family are handling it all so well and are hopefully for a speedy full recovery but also juggling work and hospital visits with Leonies husband Murray starting work at 4am then traveling an hour to visit his wife and their daughter Amanda traveling 2.5 hours for visits and juggle work and children.
I've set up this page for anyone who's wanting to help out the Hooper family but dont know how or what they can do. I know any donations big or small will be so greatly appreciated.
Many thanks to everyone who's helped out already, the visitors and the hospital's team of nurses and doctors ❤
Known the Hooper family for around 20 years I'm wanting to help them out because they are always thinking of others and it would be nice to take some financial stress away
Any money raised will go to petrol, accommodation for when the family needs to stay near by and help for Leonie at home once shes discharged.
