    Story

    Jill and Paul Gregory - Story of Jack
    Thank you for visiting my page. On 8th December our beautiful baby boy Jack arrived to complete our family. Jay and Tristan think he is amazing and lots of brotherly cuddles were exchanged. However only a fews hours later Jack took ill and we were transfered to sick kids in Glasgow and then an air ambulance took us Great Ormond Street Hospital. Jack has been diagnosed with AVM (arteriovenous-malformations)
    (http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/medical-information/arteriovenous-malformations).
    Jack has undergone life saving surgery and is now in recovery however he is still struggling and needs round the clock specialist care. Sadly this care can only be given in London and today we have been told he will have to stay in GOSH for atleast a further 3 months.
    Paul and I are desperate to see Jay and Tristan and try keep a "normal" home life for them too. This means weeks of commuting and living between Falkirk and London. We would be grateful if you could please donate and help us make this possible.
    We will repay the favour when Jack home with a fundraiser for the ward at GOSH to say thanks.
    This is every parents worse nightmare and both Paul and I are very thankful for all you can do
    All my love Jill x

      A message from Jill and Paul xx This little honey is one month old today! He also gave me 2 big smiles tonight when we were having a cuddle and a chat! We are still in hospital but on Friday we took an 8 hour drive by ambulance to Glasgow children's hospital!! So great being closer to home. We will still need to make further trips to GOSH throughout the next year for further ops, but so happy to be here! Thanks again for all the support and donations. Jill Paul Jay Tristan and Jack x

      Hi guys, oh my goodness how amazing has all this support been. Wee Jack is still off ventilator and there is talk of him moving to a children's ward as opposed to HDU. Consultant is very happy with his progress... All very positive news. Jill and Paul have both been down at GOSH together since Sunday and getting lots of cuddles for their precious little boy. Paul is coming back up on Thursday to help settle Jay into nursery. Busy times all round but all news is good x

      A fellow Falkirk mummy- My wee boy was in NICU in October for 4 weeks. It's an extremely stressful time and the last thing you should need to worry about is money. Hope your wee boy gets home soon. X
