Part 3 - Scotty’s Surgery Update
28 August 2026
However, as always, our Scotty has been positive and realistic. This is an additional hurdle on top of everything else, but it is also something that was always a risk of the surgery itself and something that Scotty has great perspective on.
For now, our focus is simply on making sure Scotty takes the time he needs to recover from back to back craniotomy’s. We haven’t yet made any decisions around his next steps as we are waiting on Scotty’s histology results from Australia. Once we get these back we will have a better idea of what treatment will be best suited to Scotty.
We will, of course, keep you all updated as we know more.
Once again, thank you for being here with us through all of this. There have been some incredibly difficult days, and knowing we have such a caring community around us has made those days a little easier. We are so grateful for every bit of kindness, generosity and support you’ve shown Scotty and our family. 🤍

Thanks so much for the updates. At such a vulnerable time for you all, it’s a privilege to be able to read them.
As a former patient of the Christchurch neurosurgery team, I can relate to your descriptions of their excellence. I have nothing but respect for them.
One thing that struck me during my own recovery was that these things seem to often be measured in months and years rather than days and weeks. Healing can be a very slow process.
Fingers crossed for you all. You’ll be in my thoughts.

All the best for your recovery.

Things must be very tough but rest assured many people are rooting for Scotty.
If you need more support, don’t hesitate to ask.
Best wishes,
Peter
