Hi everyone

My good friend Nicky and her family have been hit hard with Influenza A Zeke her 14 year old son and Husband Andrew have both ended up with Pneumonia from it resulting in both of them having to be Sedated in a drug induced coma, Intubated flown to the dunedin ICU. The one good thing is they are both side by side in the ICU.

Alice Cochrane's involvement (page creator)

Nicky is my bonus mum.I started working with Nicky when I was 18 years old and she took me under her wing and ive never left there. Her Son Zeke holds a very special place in my heart as I've watched him grow from the womb to the young man he is today.

Use of funds

The money I aim to raise for Nicky and her family is to help with the living costs while she's away in dunedin as well as helping with the living costs that will still Occur when she's not at home.

Kia Ora team, so here is today's latest update for both boys.Today is a big day for both boys. Hopefully they are going to replace tubes in Zeke's throat with nasal tubes, that will go through nose and down back of throat rather than mouth. The Drs have put him back under as he was getting too stressed with being less sedated. Andrew is having a tracheostomy today at one. So he is going to be sedated more again. The Dr's said he will cope better with that. Andrew has been highly emotional throughout this. The Dr's reckons it's the drugs that he is on. He is having dialysis again just to support his kidneys.
