Support Young Family: Jay, Kim, Kade & Eli After Jay's Brain Haemorrhage

Firstly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are completely overwhelmed by the generosity, kindness, prayers, messages, and support we've received. Every donation and message has meant more than words can say.

The good news is Jay has now been discharged from hospital and is finally home. While this is a huge milestone, his recovery is only just beginning.

Jay's MRI confirmed a large intracerebral haemorrhage in the right occipital lobe. At this stage, there's still too much blood to determine what caused the bleed. The plan is to repeat the MRI in around six weeks, once the blood has been naturally reabsorbed, to hopefully identify the underlying cause.

Many have asked why surgery isn't being done. Due to the location of the haemorrhage, the neurosurgical team believes operating could cause more harm than allowing the blood to absorb naturally, so careful monitoring and rest are the safest approach.

Jay still has some vision loss, although we've seen small improvements each day. We don't yet know how much vision will return, and we're still waiting for answers, so he's not out of the woods just yet.

The next six weeks are crucial. Jay needs plenty of rest and minimal brain stimulation, so we'll be limiting visitors for a few weeks while he settles in at home.

Thank you again for carrying us through this incredibly difficult time. We'll continue to share updates as we know more.

❤️‍🩹 Kim xx
