Meet Jack
A treadmill challenge family story.
After spending his first 13 months in hospital Michelle and Joe, Mum and Dad to Baby Jack were delighted to take him home to Kerry.
Michelle commented on the care and support they have received from the LauraLynn in the Community team.
“Then we met the team from LauraLynn. They came to our house, to learn about Jack’s routine and his needs, and to get to know us as a family. Having them there was such a weight off our shoulders. We’d simply be lost without the LauraLynn nurses and therapists. To me they are our angels.
Until we had their amazing nurses in our home, we never knew the extent of the fantastic service they offer families like ours. I can only describe it as like winning the lottery. And Jack is just mad about them!
He just loves Nurse Lorraine. As soon as the LauraLynn team arrives, Jack’s eyes light up and he’s clapping his hands and laughing. And blowing kisses at Lorraine! They just make everything so fun for him. They’ll arrive at the house with a big box of toys. They’ll have a tent, with lights, and they’ll pop him into it. They even turn his physio exercises into a game. They put the sensory lights all around him. Then they put some music on and start dancing away – Jack’s having so much fun, he doesn’t even realise he’s doing physio”
