Hi everyone I’m sarah. I’ve just joined. 5 weeks ago I lost my 20 year old son on my birthday. Sadly he had a progressive neurological condition that had started in his teenage years. Over the last couple years I’ve slowly seen .y son James become a shell of the person he were. He had 15 aspiration pneumonia 3 sepsis brain surgery… and a few intensive cares. This had taken. My sons speech mobility he had a feeding peg catheter bag. He were bed bound and I were looking after James myself. It’s a tragic story.
