Hi guys, I'm hoping to fundraise for my son Lucas, who has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, otherwise known as four limb cerebral palsy. This means his arms & legs are stiff, but his core is weak. Lucas was born at 30 weeks gestation, weighing a tiny 2lbs 14oz. There were complications during labour which led to myself suffering an internal haemorrhage & a placental abruption. This means the placenta came away from my womb, stopping Lucas receiving the oxygen and blood he needed. He was born by emergency c-section on the 14th September 2014. Lucas stayed in the baby intensive care unit for 7 weeks. Everything seemed to be going straightforward, however on the day of his discharge, he had a routine brain scan which showed that he had severe brain damage on both sides of his brain, and would have cerebral palsy. We were told he may not sit, walk, talk, or eat properly. Lucas is now 18 months old-however developmentally he is scoring at 3-4 months old. He is unable to roll over, sit up, reach or play with toys or toddle around like other 18 month old boys would do. He uses a special chair for meal times to give him the extra support he needs, and he has hand splints to help open up his hands. We would love to raise money to take Lucas to the Bobath centre in London for children with cerebral palsy, and also any specialist equipment he will need in the future. Physio at the Bobath Centre involves daily intense physio with highly trained physiotherapists who have vast experience in CP. He would greatly benefit from this treatment, However it is very expensive. So any donations towards this would be very grateful to help our little man have the best future possible!!!
