In a comment on one of the posts, someone said: “What’s happened??”
Someone then speculated that Eli had to “have an operation to clean out an infection in his leg”.
CHRIS’ SON ELI
In 2019, he shared how Eli, who was 7 at the time, underwent ‘miracle’ treatment after his retained reflexes left him unable to read and write.
The radio personality explained at the time: “Our little boy, Eli, who’s seven loves school. He loves life. He is seven, you know and at the start of this year, his new year at school, he couldn’t really read and he couldn’t really write.
‘He could read a little bit, but not much. But he’s creative, such a genius. He’s a shining star in our world.
“So was he dyslexic? How was he with his maths? Not very good.”
Revealing his wife took the initiative to improve their child’s learning journey, Chris said: “Tash started looking around and she came across this place called The Key Clinic.
“And what The key clinic do is they focus on a link between all these learning issues and potential issues of communication or spacial awareness. And they’re all linked to something called retained reflexes.”
He then said: “Retained reflexes means is that we’re all born with these reflexes that are designed to keep us alive in the first few months and the first year and may be second year of our lives. And there are about 19 of them.
“They are sort of superpowers in our first year or couple of years of our lives.
“But when we no longer need them, they’re supposed to leave us. But if they don’t leave us, they can cause massive issues.”
