Overview

• Mid-March scans uncovered a 3cm brain abscess that triggered two urgent drain procedures at The Walton Centre.
• He developed sepsis days after the first surgery and needed a second operation plus high-dose antibiotics to control the infection.
• Clinicians identified a previously painless cracked tooth as the infection’s entry point to the brain.
• Six weeks of multidisciplinary care have significantly reduced the abscess but left lingering communication and movement difficulties.
• A 50km sponsored walk by his children and friends has raised over £3,200 for The Walton Centre Charity to support his recovery.
