Benefit Evening for Julius & Update
26 September 2023
We are holding a benefit evening for Julius on 28th October, at the Kerikeri Sports Complex. This will consist of an Auction and local band The Soundloungers and DJ Ian will be providing us with some great music. Please do contact Claire on 021883616 or flashgordon.claire@gmail.com to donate an item or service the Auction - every cent counts!
In the meantime, here's an update - Julius has had a few setbacks with hospital admission for further treatment and several platelet & blood transfusions. Feeding tube has been taken out as a trial because currently Julius has some underlying stomach issues which means he is struggling to keep his daily medications down which can be up to 11 pills twice a day, and they are wanting to get that sorted, his appetite continues to be pretty non existent - however, overall he is still in good spirits and keeping strong.
Julius starts interim maintenance this week and if all counts are at a high enough level he will travel tomorrow to Auckland, with a huge treatment & theatre day planned following which he will be monitored for a minimum of 48hrs with discharge unknown.
This plan is in place for the next 4 fortnights and is all dependant on his nutrition counts..
