Healing for Jack Jack

Jack Jack's Our Hero

For those new to our journey. This is Jack's story.

Jack Jack is 3 years old. He has endured 38 surgeries and tests under general anesthesia. Jack has endured over 150 procedures awake. He takes over 25 doses of medicine each day. He cannot eat any food due to unknown reasons of severe food intolerance. Jack will have to have heart surgery to close the hole in his heart. We are told he is going to need ongoing brain surgeries to make room for his brain that is growing to fast. He needs a cervical fusion by a doctor who is knowledgeable in connective tissue disorders to save his life at The Chiari Institute.
