“Brian House has always been there to give me time with Tom’s siblings and a bit of a breather. But it’s also a change of environment for Tom. He’s got to know all the staff over the years, and was absolutely full of smiles each time I told him, through Makaton, that he would be going to Brian House. He would be so excited.”
Tom was born a healthy baby, but developed jaundice. Unfortunately, the jaundice took hold in the centre of his brain.
But Tom doesn’t complain or show any frustration.
Jackie said: “We’re very lucky to have Tom. It’s a testament to his care teams, both at home and at Brian House, and their support and advice that he is here.
“Brian House has been a huge part of our lives. It’s been absolutely invaluable to us and the staff there are life-saving – that’s the only way I can describe them.”
