Story of Our little Angel

Our little Jacob entered this world under very dramatic circumstances; it was the night after my wife’s father suddenly passed away. From the shock and grief my wife Joanna went into labour, and we found our selves as a family in unfamiliar territory.

At the beginning the labour was normal, if there is such a thing, but as the sun came up on 24 June 2009, and the labour intensified the events that followed where nothing but a nightmare and surreal, our little Jacob was fighting for his life.

An emergency caesarean had to be done as our Jacob was running out of time. We were told that Jacob had to be revived, as he was no longer breathing. After a few minutes, Jacob was stabilised with the help of a ventilator, he was finally breathing. Our hearts stopped, but hope returned and joy for our little boy was born.
the labour hours started to emerge, we were told that Jacob has a brain bleed and a MRI had to be done immediately. The MRI revealed that Jacob had suffered significant brain damage and he will very likely be paralysed and his quality of life will be diminished. The nightmare began, within the first 3 days of Jacobs’s life we went through highs and lows. We as a family, we hit rock bottom when we were told that Jacob will most likely not survive the weekend and we had a decision to make.

9 month on our little Jacob brings more joy to our lives and touches our hearts more then we have ever imagined. Through constant determination and his beautiful sprit Jacob fights on. Jacob was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. He has beaten many odds, and is able to smile, communicate but his motor skills have definitely been affected. We love our little boy very much, as for us the most important thing is to give Jacob the best possible chance of life.

Jacob currently is under going various treatments, and he has faced many obstacles, and he has many more to come. The treatment that Jacob is under going a very well developed in Europe and we want to help Jacob reach his potential. I am forced as a father to part with my Jacob for a number of long months to give Jacob the best we can.
In order to make life more enjoyable, Jacob will need continuous therapy for a number of years, with the first few being the most critical. Naturally as parents we want to provide the best possible treatment for Jacob, which in Jacob’s case means travelling to Europe for 6 months for advanced treatment not available in Australia.

This trip (hopefully a fun and rewarding adventure for Jacob) will commence on 21st April 2010. If you would like to ensure the trip is as successful as possible, please donate any amount you feel comfortable with to give Jacob the best chance of a normal life as possible.
