Update #5
25 March 2024Hi everyone, the family have received wonderful news today. The staff at Burwood are allowing Travis, on this coming Thursday, the 28th March to return home to Dannevirke, so he can recuperate and regain his core strength. We are all thrilled at his progress and his returning home. Travis's walking and standing capability is getting stronger though he tires easily. He still has pneumonia but this is being treated with antibiotics.
The medical plan will be in approximately six months time, Travis will have another operation to remove the two rods attached to his spine and he will undergo a bone graft from his hip onto the broken bones in his spinal column. Fortunately his spinal cord has not been damaged. Travis’s still has a long way to go on his journey of recovery, but considering what we were initially told by the doctors his progress is remarkable.
We are therefore going to close down this give a little page. Travis and his family will always be grateful for the love, kindness and generosity you have all shown. We do intend to put further updates up of Travis's progress.
Sincere thanks for all your love, help and support.
Sarah, Adam, Travis de Visser.
