Jaylon Goodall

Jaylon had meningitis and sepsis.

It’s been hardest thing ever go through. His whole body shut down and he was cold. He was on life support machine for 4 days.

He is now walking with a limp. He was very poorly boy, the bravest ever.

They were telling us this is critical. In 24-48 hours it got worse.

We were thinking so much me as mother and his dad. We had a lot of support though it all.
