DENVER — A young boy from Denver is fighting for his life in Belize after suffering a horseback riding accident while on vacation.
It all started out as a fun family vacation,"My family and I went on our first ever cruise through Carnival and Belize was one of the stops for the day. We planned to go to a monkey sanctuary and the tour included a horseback ride," said Heidi Keryan, Stefan's mother."I heard yelling, and I looked over. I see this horse coming from where everybody goes to go on the trail or whatever back down the road towards us.
"He's hanging in there, he's not gonna make it if he stays out here. People have been amazing to us. We have had strangers come up to us and cry with us and pray with us and bring us flowers and food and the people in the hospital saved his life," said Heidi Keryan."He's alive right now because of them. But they don't have the specialty care that he needs. They don't have a burn specialist. They don't have a plastic surgeon for the back of his head.
