Jake's story

Jake's family share the start of their journey β€” when ordinary illness turned into something far more frightening.

He was being sick lots, so we took him to hospital as the amount of sickness wasn’t normal. They said he had food poisoning.

5 days stay in hospital, Jake wasn’t getting no better and his eyes stopped reacting to light.

The challenge was actually believing in the consultants and nurses when they told us things were going to be okay. It took us a while to accept that, actually. We are grateful to all of them.
