Help baby Jules and his family in hospital

Hello beautiful people.

It's been a big couple of weeks for our little family. Seeing the support for us has left us lost for words.

We have shed many tears; for our boy who continues to be strong and courageous, but also because we’re incredibly grateful for the messages that have been streaming in, the offers of help from here and afar, and we’re absolutely blown away by the give this Givealittle page that was set up for us.

Jules has been recovering from the sepsis and was moved from ICU to a ward. This week he has been back to chatting, crawling and eating - reassuring signs he is feeling better. He’s got the nurses wrapped around his finger and loves waving to them and giving them a cheeky, toothy grin. We’ve been allowed some leave from the hospital during the day and have been coming to the apartment where Luke and Otto have been staying, which has been a much needed reprieve from the fluorescent hospital lights.

Jules is scheduled to have skin grafts tomorrow morning, and we begin the next phase of his recovery. We’re not quite sure what follows that, other than the doctors wanting to keep Jules quiet for 5 days to give the grafts a chance to take. Hopefully we’ll be back home in the coming weeks.

Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts. Your generosity has given us the ability to stay together as a family and focus ourselves on getting our little boy back to 110%.

Peace and love,

Luke, Elena, Otto & Jules
