GEORGE




 
Last Friday George went Skiing at Mt Hutt with his family.
Sadly George had an accident.
  • firstly they went to the medical center at Mt Hutt
  • because the injury was bad the WESTPAC HELIPCOPTER service was called to take George to Christchurch hospital.
  • It took 25 minutes to get to the hospital
  • George thought it was fun in the helicopter because it was so high up and he could see lots of things
  • Georges mum went with him in the helicopter
  • At the hospital they put stitches in the big cut on his arm and bandaged it all up
  • The arm was xrayed
  • George still wants to go skiing again....but not for a while!
"They took fab care of our wee boy and George has given thank you cards, hand made, to the crew, the Mt Hutt medical team, the A and E team and mums orthopaedic colleague who sutured his wound soo nicely.
George made a lovely banana cake for the Westpac helicopter paramedics which they loved. They said sadly only less than 10 percent of rescued patients ever come and say thank you to them. We wish everyone would donate to them for all their amazing work they do.. "

 George says the helicopter people were really nice to him and they even gave him a toy helicopter.
Room 19 says - "Thank you for rescuing George and keeping him safe"

    Is George's arm feeling better now? I hope George does not brake his arm again when he goes back skiing at Mount Hutt.
