Must readA 16-year-old from Porirua, New Zealand, Ashen Phaipanya, is currently in an intensive care unit in Bali, Indonesia, after contracting bacterial meningitis and pneumonia. He became ill during a family holiday celebrating his mother Sheena's 40th birthday. A family friend stated that Ashen contracted bacterial meningitis after eating undercooked pork and was in a coma at BIMC Hospital as specialists worked to reduce brain swelling. An update from the family on June 24 indicated that Ashen is no longer intubated and has woken up, though he remains in critical condition in the ICU. His parents, Sheena and Ants, are staying in Bali with him. Travel insurance is covering only one parent's stay, prompting Sheena's co-worker and friend, Jordyne Lyons, to create a Givealittle page to help cover expenses for both parents to remain. Over $14,500 had been raised by Thursday night. Doctors were initially unsure if the brain swelling would cause permanent damage.
