The Kemp Family would like to express their enourmous thanks to all who have donated to this page. Every dollar has made a difference and enabled us to be close to Jayden during his initial fight for his life and then for the early stages of his recovery. It also helped cover some ambulance rides that were not covered by ACC and other expenses that Jayden was unable to pay for himself. We simply could not have managed without this support and we cannot thank you enough.
Jayden will be coming home December 23, after spending 86 days away in hospital and the brain rehabilitation facility. He has come so far already, but there are still some huge mountains to climb and many, many more months of rehabilitation at home. He will also require 2 further surgeries in the new year, one of which will be to fit a prosthetic skull piece back into his head. Until then he will wear a special saftey helmet.
We will close this page December 31st. Thank you all once again and massive thanks to Maria & Jo for setting up and managing the page XXX
PS: The photo of Jayden is confronting, but it shows one of the realities of a severe brain injury and also one aspect of that injury that he is dealing with at the moment.... once the prosthetic skull piece is in, it will be another huge obstacle he has conquered.
