Tommy operated!

Dear Friends,

As mentionned last week, Tommy had to be operated because of the infection he had in his arm.

Last Sunday, a friend and surgeon accepted to help us for free and donated all his time and knowledge to save Tommy’s arm. At J.A.C.K. everyone was extremely nervous but confident as we knew Dr Nestor and his assistant would do all their best!

Tommy did extremely well too and Papa Augustin helped him go through these tough and painfull moments. Following pictures will show you the different steps of the operation…

Tommy did well during operation and we are now crossing our fingers the infection will clear up completely and that all this painful moments will be over very very soon…

Well done baby Tommy! We are so proud of you and we promise we will do our best to keep your arm and your health safe!

    Hi everyone. I am very pleased to see my baby boy is doing well. My heart aches to see him this way. I will visit soon and give him a hug again. He is the tuffest little boy I know. His recovery time is just mind blowing. His will to survive was evident since the day I took him in. Once again I want to thank JACK for the work and effort they have put into this. They could have refused Grant and I but they didn’t. You are my hero’s. I know how difficult it is to take care of him. He never complains at all. Regards Jurie

  2. By keeping Tommy under close observation (I’ve seen little ones pick relentlessly at their bandages and ruin surgical corrections before) and providing all of the love and rest he can stand, I am certain he will do very well indeed. Congratulations to everyone at J.A.C.K. for all of their excellent work and generous hearts!
