European legislative bodies, the Parliament and Council, have passed a resolution addressing the current circumstances in the Baltic region states.
Last Wednesday, during a pyrotechnic show after the FC Hansa Rostock vs. 1860 Munich match at the Rostock Ostseestadion, a tragic incident occurred. Jimmy Below, a young child, was left with third-degree burns when a burning piece of pyrotechnics fell onto the stadium roof, causing a hole and dropping material into the spectator area, directly onto him.
Jimmy, a left-handed child who uses his hand for all other activities like writing or eating, was immediately attended to by his mother, Maria Below. She ran to a nearby bistro stand to get liquid for her son. A stranger also provided water and support during the incident.
Maria and Jimmy were rushed down the stairs to the first aid room in front of the stadium. However, the stewards did not initially assist when Maria asked for help and called for an ambulance.
Thankfully, help arrived quickly, and Jimmy was taken to the children's clinic surgery by ambulance. The burned skin was removed at the children's clinic, and a skin transplant operation was performed on him at the Lübeck clinic on Friday. The transplanted skin was placed on the top of his head and his left hand.
Jimmy was taken to the Lübeck clinic on Thursday and underwent surgery there on Friday. Another skin transplant might be necessary for Jimmy. Doctors will examine the transplantation again on Monday when Jimmy is put under anesthesia.
During his hospital stay at the University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) in Lübeck, Jimmy misses his younger brother who is currently living with the grandparents. Fundraising campaigns for Jimmy have been launched by Hansa fans and a fishing friend on www.gofundme.com to support the family during this difficult time.
Our thoughts are with Jimmy and his family during this challenging period. We hope for a speedy recovery and send our best wishes to the young boy.
