Small steps closer ❤️
12 September 2024
We all know Josh is not one to give up easily, he continues to fight and surprise us every day in his recovery, and this week has been one of the biggest ones by far.
Our biggest wish from the start was being able to have Josh well enough and stable enough to be able to be closer to home and continue his recovery journey with all his extended family around him.
As a family we are happy to say that Josh is one step closer, he has been stepped down from Wellington ICU on Tuesday and we were fortunate enough to be able to have him be transferred back home to Hawke’s Bay. Josh is still in ICU here but small steps are the best ones taken. On top of now being closer to home Josh has also been taken off his breathing supports early Wednesday and is now breathing all by himself for the first time in 17 days!
We know we still have a very long recovery ahead of us, but we will take the small wins as they come.
Lastly we want to say thank you again to all the support everyone has shown our family in the past weeks, we know we have a long road ahead but the community support and outreach we have had only makes us believe that we will never be alone on this journey.
We do still ask that people respect family wishes to not have visitors currently as everyday is a big one and we continue to process new information as it comes.
