Possum Bourne's Condition As At 7pm - Monday 28 April
Possum suffered a severe brain injury at the initial incident on Friday 18 April and has been managed very actively until now.
The extent and severity of the injury was not fully apparent until the weekend just gone, when ventilation support was decreased but he deteriorated and had to go back onto full support.
Evaluation today, including a brain scan, confirms the original injury was very severe and continuing full support is no longer in Possum's best interests.
