The youngster faces two further operations after reportedly plunging 15 feet and being bitten by a crocodile at Johnsons of Old Hurst on June 18.
His parents previously told how their son faces a “long road to recovery”.
The latest heartbreaking update was issued on a GoFundMe page set up on behalf of the family.
It read: “We are extremely grateful for everyone’s generosity.
“We could never thank you enough for the support you have given our family in this horrible time.
“We have been living at the hospital for 2 weeks now and our son has undergone 5 surgeries.
“At this moment in time we know that our son is to undergo at least two more surgeries, one of those surgeries being a nerve reconstruction in his arm.
“These last two weeks have been a very uncertain and unsettling time.
“This uncertainty remains as we still don’t know the extent of his feeling, movement and function in both of his arms, wrists and hands.
“This will only be identified after casts and bandages are able to be removed and he can begin his rehabilitation journey.
“His rehabilitation journey is uncertain but we do know that it won’t be a short process.”
