A night at the Currumbin Sanctuary
On Saturday night we attended a "dream night" at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a wonderful event for the children, and the staff and volunteers are so friendly. Here are some photos from the night.
Harri is recovering from an ABI (acquired brain injury) he suffered in 2001. He was bitten by a mosquito and contracted a virus, Murray Valley Encephalitis, which caused his brain to swell, as a result he is now a quadriplegic.
The result is similar to cerebral palsy. Harri suffers from epilepsy and is also unable to speak.
We hope to find a treatment that will aid in his recovery. Our current primary program is call ABR (advanced bio-mechanical rehabilitation), aimed at stimulating his core muscles and making them stronger, improving his structural deficiencies.
Harri currently is battling a complex set of breathing issues, Laryngospasm and Tracheomalacia, as well as Kyphoid scoliosis.
