Die 17-jarige Chris Jordaan van die Ho\u00ebr Jongenskool Paarl (HJS) is steeds onder sterk verdowing in die waakeenheid in \u2019n hospitaal in Pretoria nadat hy verlede week \u2019n kopbesering in \u2019n rugbywedstryd in dieselfde stad opgedoen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Ryno Rust, die sportwetenskaplike van HJS se rugbyspan, het die seuns aan die NMI Toyota Menlyn-Noord- Suid-Rugbytoernooi in Pretoria deelgeneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het teen die Afrikaanse Ho\u00ebr Seunskool, bekend as Affies, gespeel en Chris het in die vierde minuut van die wedstryd in \u2019n kontaksituasie op \u2019n baie lelike manier geval en sy kop teen die grond gestamp. Hy is toe van die veld gedra en het op daardie tydstip nog gekommunikeer. Toe Chris langs die veld l\u00ea en met ons fisio praat, het hy \u2019n seizure<\/span> begin kry. Dit het gewys dat iets neurologies fout kan wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris se pa, ook Chris Jordaan, was op die paviljoen om sy seun en spanmaats te ondersteun toe Chris jr. die besering opgedoen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nooddienswerkers het met Chris na die Mediclinic Muelmed gejaag, waar \u2019n neurochirurg skanderings en verdere toetse gedoen het. Rust s\u00ea die bevinding was dat Chris \u201contsettend baie bloeding\u201d op die brein het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris is na die teater gehaas waar \u2019n noodoperasie gedoen is om die drukking op sy brein te verlig en om van die bloeding ontslae te raak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordaan s\u00ea hoewel Chris sy o\u00eb oopmaak as hulle in die vertrek is en effens reageer wanneer hulle met hom kommunikeer, l\u00ea \u2019n lang pad na herstel nog voor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHy toon baie goeie tekens van herstel en ons wil hom net graag uit die waakeenheid kry sodat hy na die rehabilitasiesentrum kan gaan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chris het \u2019n longinfeksie opgedoen as gevolg van die ventilator waaraan hy gekoppel moes word, maar sy infeksietelling is nou onder beheer, het sy pa bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordaan s\u00ea hy en sy vrou, Dan\u00e9, het reeds gere\u00ebl dat rehabilitasie onmiddellik begin sodra Chris uit die waakeenheid ontslaan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHy gaan nie nog na \u2019n gewone hospitaalsaal toe nie \u2013 hy sal direk van die waakeenheid af na die sentrum oorgeplaas word. Ons het reeds met die dokter hieroor gepraat en verstaan hoe dit alles werk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNiemand weet in hierdie stadium of hy enige probleme in die lang termyn gaan ervaar nie. Obviously<\/i> het hy baie seergekry en dit was \u2019n groot operasie. So, niemand weet eintlik nog of hy enige permanente probleme of breinskade gaan h\u00ea nie, want hy was nog nie by sy volle positiewe nie. Dit sal ons eers kan sien wanneer hy ontslaan word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordaan s\u00ea sy seun sal nog vir \u2019n tyd lank in Pretoria wees omdat hy nie nou per vliegtuig kan terugkeer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jordaan maak dit verder duidelik dat Chris nog nooit regtig wakker geword het nie omdat hy onder sterk verdowing is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHy was nog nie wakker nie. Hy kom net by tye by, want hy is nog heeltyd onder verdowing. Die dokters kan hom nie sonder verdowing los met die ventilator in nie. Hy is die meeste van die tyd aan die slaap, maar wanneer ons met hom praat of enigiets doen, reageer hy. So, hy hoor ons definitief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit is nie \u2019n maklike pad wat die familie moet aanpak nie, maar Jordaan s\u00ea hulle is ontsettend dankbaar vir die ondersteuning wat hulle tot dusver van almal ontvang het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBaie dankie vir die hele Paarl, die Wes-Kaap en selfs die hele Suid-Afrika.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die 17-jarige
