Story

As most of you will know, my son Archie was born extremely prematurely at 23 weeks. He sadly suffered severe brain damage and so now has many complex medical needs including a tracheostomy to help him breath, and a feeding tube to help him eat. We care for him round the clock  which can get pretty tiring!

Jessie May nurses are our angels. They provide us with some much needed respite a few times a month so that Laura can go shopping, do some exercise or that we can even sometimes have a date night. They look after Archie like he was their own, and give us the confidence to leave him and take a break from what can sometimes be a relentless job caring for him all the time. 

Archie is our little superstar but without Jessie May nurses we would be lost. They are like extended family to us now.
