33 ANNUAL REPORT 2010-11 HK&HDCA FUNDRAISER : KAI CONNELL

This season HK&HDCA ran a raffle to fundraise for Kai Connell. Kai’s story is below. “At the age of 6 months we noticed that Kai was developing a curved spine. We took him to John Hunter hospital to find the problem. They found that he had Neurofibromatosis type 1 and that he had 3 ribs fused on one side of his spine. This necessitated a small fusion on the outside of this curve at 14 months at the Children’s hospital at Alexandria. Just after turning 4 Kai’s curve started to get worse and it was determined that he needed more surgery. Without going into details we lost confidence in his surgeon and the system and decided to move to Holland. We had lots of support there as Kai’s mum is Dutch. Just before turning 6 Kai’s spine was fused for a second time at the Wilhelmina Children’s hospital in Utrecht. We stayed in Holland until we were confident the procedure had worked and return when he was 10. A little over a year ago Kai’s back started to get worse again. He needed improvement is a plus.
