Week 13 & 14.
4 May 2024We are truely grateful and immensely appreciative of the response to Let’s Get Jackson Walking Again Give a Little page and all the aroha and donations. The response has been incredible and we thank everyone!
Jackson has started the Transitional Rehab programme. This has given him the confidence to go shopping, plan a rostered meal, cook for others in the Spinal Hostel. Spag Bol was on the menu :)
Jackson and Rob have been out with OT who are teaching Jackson how to be independent in his wheelchair when in public places. This included trips to the beach, and how to get himself out of being stuck in the sand etc. A few trips into town and also to a wheelchair factory made it a pretty busy week.
Three more weeks and he should be home.
Due to the generosity of this page and also Robs & Jacksons work, we have been able to have Rob stay down in ChCh to be Jacksons support whilst I (Mum) are up here in PN working and being with S & A. It probably means that i wont be back to ChCh, however am very excited that my boy (and husband) will be home in no time.
Big thanks again everyone. The money donated will allow us to do some much needed renovations to our house so that Jackson can still be independent with his cares (like showering etc) and also once we both return back to work then we know that he is safe in his own home.
Our young man is incredible and he is getting better each day! Literally, one step at a time :)

My mother has transverse myelitis and we would be very happy to talk to you (parents) about our journey if that would be helpful.
