Varayame had his last operation, and very successful, to remove his feet on 23 August - in fact it went so well he bypassed ICU and went straight back to his room. He is in plaster to the thigh and will be going back to family in Auckland very soon where he will have the plaster on for another week. As soon as he has properly healed he will be fitted with prosthetics at the Auckland Limb Centre. This process will take at least 6 to 8 weeks and it is hoped he will return home to Fiji around the end of November.
This is a project of Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children and the Rotary Club of St Johns Inc to restore this young man to health and his ability to walk again - for more information about ROMAC go to www.romac.rotarysouthpacific.org in the first instance.
