Update from the family of Jacob Fifita-Tovo
Mario, Lucy and the family wish to thank everyone for the love and support they are receiving, it’s been overwhelming and they are so grateful. They say Jacob had a big lift this weekend spending time with his siblings. They realise everyone is interested in his progress.
Jacob’s condition is still a wait and see to some extent. The specialists are keeping him “as still as possible” for a few more weeks, while he heals. Officially he’s C4 ASIA “C” incomplete. They have not had to stabilise the break surgically. He has limited movement in both legs/toes and reasonable right arm/finger movement but much weaker on the left. He is looking forward to being able to start active rehabilitation.
We cannot comment any further respecting the family’s privacy as this challenging time.
