Help Get lil Man Jaymon home
Donation protected
Hi my name is Dimi & I would like to tell a story about one of the strongest people I know. Her name is Tasha & she is my best friend.
Last year in august Tasha had to stop her work as a support worker to have a total hip replacement at the age of 38. She had only been out of hospital for a few weeks & recovering at home after complications after her surgery when her 10 year old son got ill with Enfluenza A+B which also turned into sepsis, Staph, kidney failure & many more other illnesses.
His body shut down & on the 24th of September 2017 he was flown to Lady Cilento Childrens Hospital where 3 days later he was placed on Ecmo ( full life support) . He was on life support for 2 weeks but also sedated on a breathing ventilator for many more weeks & also dyalisis for his kidney failure. He has gone through many surgeries & left with many big scars.
It was heartbreaking for Tasha who is a single mum but she stayed strong through it all but also forgetting to look after herself & do her own physio & take care of her hip so she has been left with some more hip problems. Jaymon fought hard to live & has suffered many complications from his illness. He has been left with chronic lung disease & Kidney damage which may mean he may need a kidney transplant later on in life. Jaymon has now been in hospital 4 months with Tasha who has been with him from day one.
Jay cannot walk & is focusing hard on his rehabilitation & has shown us all how he truly is a fighter.
He still has a very long way to go but we all know he will continue to get better.
The doctors have faith in Tasha & Jay & they have started talking about discharge & Jay can become an out patient & also spend sometime back home where is sister is staying with friends while they are down in brisbane but they don't have rehab & the facilities Jay needs where they live so they still need to come back for rehab & other medical stuff jay needs.
This is why I am starting this to help Tasha get Jay home but as she is unable to work herself at the moment due to her hip & being Jaymons fulltime carer so money is tight & so I would like to help get them home by getting her a car that is reliable as she lives over 4 hours away from the hospital & will need to do alot of travel to & from the hospital to home with Jaymon who still will require a wheelchair & other medical supplies like a blood pressure machine, Wheelchair & also Tasha is going to have a baby monitor in his room so she can hear him throughout the night (if his door is shut due to ising aircon)
So if anyone can help even if it's just $5 it will help to get a car that will accommodate Jaymons needs & get him home but also back for all his rehab & appointments.
Thankyou for reading about their journey.
