A Battle Against Bronchomalacia

Hi, my name is Jackson and I'm four! I spent the first two years of my life in hospital but now I'm home, trached and ventilated. My favourite things are Mr Tumble and Spider-man! Tracheostomies      My Condition

My video got 18,000 views and shares on Facebook last week. If every single one of those people donated just 5p towards my new wheelchair? Well... 

Thank you for all your donations so far but we’ve a long way to go, please please please keep donating!

Its Tracheostomy Awareness Week and I have put together a little video to convey what a tracheostomy means to Jackson and to us. Please watch (sorry if it makes you cry), and please share on your social media sites. On Facebook it was viewed nearly 15,000 times in little over 24hrs. Lets keep it going, lets educate people about life with a tracheostomy.

I am fast outgrowing my specialist chair and would like something more grown-up before I start school in September. I can walk, but not for very long. If you could donate anything, please do so here! Thanks

Some people have difficulties breathing through the normal upper respiratory tract, so they need a new airway to be created. #tracheostomy

I don't post here nearly enough but when I do, it's incredibly cute!

Jackson was nominated for a TinySuperHero cape by our friend D***** C**** They seek to "empower extraordinary kids, one cape at a time". It arrived yesterday along with a note welcoming him to the TinySuperHero squad. How very cute. We are so blessed to have such wonderful selfless friends. Thank you so much xxx

Playschool - this morning our 3rd 1:1 completed her tracheostomy training. This means from January Jackson is going to playschool like everyone else, WITHOUT A NURSE! What an incredible first term he's had. He has made friends, he approaches teachers and children, he joins in with group activities and is just so happy to be there. I'm so so proud. Next term I will have to go with him (stay in the staff room) due to a delay with insurance, but his 1:1s will be totally responsible for his medical needs. Very very nervous but equally as pleased.
