Meet
Jaden Hayes. A funny, vibrant and my loving kid! I can never forget the dark
day of February 20, 2010. My son had a near drown and was without a heartbeat
for an hour on that day. In fact, the ICU Doctors told me to prepare to donate
his organs and if by some small chance he did survive he would be in a
vegetative state! I did not know whom to fall upon and all I did is simply
praying to the almighty so that my son remains alive. Yes, he woke up however
he woke up with some serious health issues. Dear readers he is unable to speak
walk or eat food by mouth. It is a
disease that requires my little Jaden to go through hyperbaric oxygen therapy and
stem cell treatment in order to survive. He was in the hospital for over a
month, and as soon he as was released, we immediately started physical therapy.
I am here today not only to tell you a mom’s struggle but also to let you know
that my son needs your help to survive. Please join us in any way you can to
raise help for Jaden.
In
the days and weeks since, my friends and also many kind strangers have come
together to begin the fight to save my son’s life. Possibly we all know this; stem
cells are the basic building blocks of our bodies and stem cells are also in us
form the birth. In the stem cell treatment process, these kind of cells are injected
into the area or organ where healing is required. As soon as the cells are
injected, they start adapting with the surrounding and the cells start doing their
work. Afterwards, these cells differentiate them into the required cell types
and integrate with those cells or organ. This is how it works for Jaden as
well. As formation of the new cells starts taking place my child starts feeling
healthy again. It is also pertinent to mention here, each time the scan is
performed my son had to be put sleep. Honestly, this was yet another nightmare
I had to endure as every time Jaden was put to sleep I wonder will he wake up
again!
However,
I knew this was the only way to know if the treatment was actually working. A specific
type of scan however shows the areas of the brain that are actually
functioning. Perhaps you know this; this is such a costly affair and although we
are continuing however the treatment demands constant flow cash. Yes, fund
needed for Jaden to help us cover his treatment.
Sadly,
in the US the insurance won’t cover it as the treatment is yet considered as experimental
for Jaden's condition. Dear readers, my son was able to get a second stem cell
treatment this past September 2012 and the doctors are all helpful that if
Jaden is able to continue on with this treatment he would be able to recover.
We need your help to process his treatment Please donate for Jaden for a noble cause.
