    Hey everyone,

    We have been staying at a children rehabilitation centre in Auckland for the past (nearly) 5 weeks and this coming Friday we will be returning home.

    I'm happy to say that Kip is doing so well! From the moment we arrived here he has been dedicated to his physio sessions and had such a great attitude towards his recovery. We are very proud of the effort he has put in every day! He is no longer needing to use a wheelchair at all!

    While he still has some challenges to work on, he continues to make a steady amount of improvement and gains each day. Raffi has stayed with Kip and myself for majority of the time and been a little superstar by his side.

    Our family is so so grateful for all the support and messages we have received. Because of this page we had more family support during our time in hospital, we have been able to stay at the rehab facility for as long as Kip has needed to, and access additional help, all which we know has contributed immensely and will continue to help with his recovery. We are so appreciative of every single person that has helped us on this journey. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

    See you all soon xx

      So pleased to hear that Kip has done so well at physio sessions. He’ll love being back home too, as I’m sure you all will. 👍👍🙂🙂❤️❤️

    This morning I received a video from Gem of Kip walking across the room unassisted. Six steps!

    No wheel chair, no holding hands.

    Such a wonderful moment to celebrate.
