Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I'm so grateful to the Children's Hospice in the South West for the support they have given during an unimaginable time for Fred's mum and dad.
Fred passed away at two months old. At birth, his brain was starved of oxygen, causing a significant brain injury (Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy Or HIE) and severe epilepsy. Children's Hospice Southwest - specifically, Little Bridge House provided hospice care for him. They took care of Fred during his end of life treatment and made a horrific situation as good as it could possibly be. Tom and Rhian are forever grateful for the memories they made as a family during his last days.
From day one, Fred baffled all health professionals by exceeding their expectations. It was unlikely for him to survive further than his first day but he was a fighter, surprising people from this day to his last. Eventually, the damage to his brain proved too much for Fred and the medications that he was on were not enough to keep him free from seizures.
Because Fred battled so hard, we have had time to meet extraordinary and generous people. This money will allow families to access their services for a little longer. We hope that Fred will continue to impact those around him in a positive way.
