The eight-year-old boy who was pulled from a burning motorhome Oliver earlier this week underwent a second surgery Friday.

On Wednesday, Cody O’Conner suffered burns to 40 per cent of his body after a fire broke out in a motorhome he was inside at Oliver Centennial RV Park.

O’Conner was immediately handed over to paramedic and transported by air to hospital in Vancouver with his mother Amanda. His father Ramsey De Prez joined him later in the week.

The boy’s grandmother, Pearl De Prez, says Cody was treated for smoke inhalation and had surgery on his arm Thursday. On Friday, doctors tried to remove a piece of glass from his lung that showed up on an x-ray.

“Very concerned, I mean, sad — that he’s going to have to go through a whole lot of things. And these surgeries are just the beginning… He’s going to have lots of plastic surgeries and grafts,” Mrs. De Prez said.

O’Conner is at the burn unit at B.C. Children’s Hospital, and will remain in intensive care. “You just have to keep on doing what you are doing. And you have to be patient, and you worry. But what can you do?” she said.

Her grandson, she says, was looking forward to starting school again next week, but a return to school is now a long way off.  As of Sunday  Cody remains under sedation.

The family’s motorhome and possessions were lost in the fire, and the family had no insurance to cover the loss.
