He was fitted with a ‘halo device’ on Wednesday 27th in the evening, which was to be worn for 3 months and would stabilize the neck to facilitate healing. Unfortunately the device made for an extremely uncomfortable and problematic set of circumstances that resulted in severe drops in his blood pressure and vitals. It was removed a few hours after and next stage planning for the next alternative of surgery is underway.

He stabilized quite quickly after it was removed and was very, very happy to have it off, but was however disappointed that it had not worked and that he would be unable to decorate it with various trinkets as he was planning to.

Left now with the only other option being surgery to put in a plate to stabilize the injury we are getting the neurosurgeon process started.
