Our story,

Jasper started having seizures at 5months old. Jasper is epileptic and is going to continue having seizures the rest of his life. Recently in March 2020 Jasper had a prelonged seizure which resulted in him being transferred

to Manchester Childrens Hospital intensive care unit. Jasper was on PICU for 9 days and then on the neurology ward for 2weeks. Jasper was a ‘normal little boy’ (very cheeky) before this prolonged seizure. When Jasper eventually woke up on PICU it became very clear to us that he wasn’t going to bounce back to his normal cheeky self. Jasper had lost all his speech, he lost his feeding skills, his ability to move his body and his ability to walk. I can’t begin to imagine what Jasper was thinking at that time. (properly wanted to say jesus women whats going on).

6months on from Jasper’s seizure he‘s now attending a special school which is amazing and definitely the right choice. He’s now getting the correct help he needs in terms of physio therapy and SALT, and OT support. As you can imagine Jasper’s toys at home are not really suitable for Jasper’s needs anymore. Therefore im asking for just a little bit of help to buy Jasper some sensory toys and specialist equipment which im sure will help Jasper with his recovery.

Jasper is a fighter and im sure one day he will be shouting mummy again 50 times a day and running off!

Thank you for reading our story.
