Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 7th January this year, Stephanie and myself became
proud parents to our little boy. We named him Jayce Paul David Cameron. He was born at 28 weeks and 5 days and weighed 852g (1lb 14oz), tiny but perfect.
From the moment Jayce was born, he done really well and even the staff at St Peters hospital were amazed especially in the way he was able to move himself around the incubator. He was thriving and gaining weight and at one point required no further oxygen and only required a feeding tube.
However, our happiness was short lived and at the age of five weeks after having a few rough days, Jayce was diagnosed with Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) and was transferred to St. George’s hospital in Tooting. Jayce was extremely poorly and in dire need of surgery. Unfortunately, he was not strong enough and was put on life support. After a couple of days, Jayce began to improve and the doctors realised they had a window of opportunity to get him into surgery for a lifesaving operation, however once in surgery they realised there was nothing they could do to save him as the disease had destroyed the main part of his bowel that was needed to save his life. We were then left with the heart-breaking decision to switch off his life support later that evening. Surrounded by those who loved him most our little boy gained his wings on 14th February aged five weeks and three days. As you can imagine we are truly devastated by this.
We have decided to do various activities in memory of our son to raise money for The Little Roo fund at the neo-natal unit at St Peters hospital who support parents of premature babies providing them with some home comforts to enable them to remain close by. They also provide boxes of essentials for the unexpected arrivals including premature baby clothes, micro nappy, tiny blankets etc, we are also hoping to raise enough to provide a lifesaving piece of equipment in memory of Jayce and to help to provide details and information regarding Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC).
