Updated medical info on Jacob :(

Oh my goodness, this description just makes me want to cry.  He is being treated so unfairly, but you can see that he wants to be learning and active.  This boy needs a mommy quick to rescue him.  14 pounds!?!?!?  For an almost 5 year old, that is just pitiful, just wrong.  Poor baby.






Boy, DOB: September 10, 2005
 Main diagnosis: Down syndrome
lagging behind in physical and mental development
He has already been transferred to a mental institution

Jacob is over 4 years old and weighs just 14 pounds. He is still very much a baby, even though he’s already been transferred to an institution. He lives in an environment with children that are completely cared for by staff and does not have opportunities outside of the institution.
His motor skills are significantly delayed. He can sit up unassisted, but does not crawl or walk. His report says that most of his time is spent lying in a bed. He shows interest in his environment and in toys and other objects. He recognizes his name and responds to it. His speech is significantly delayed but he is beginning to make sounds. He eats from a bottle and does attempt to hold the bottle by himself.

SINGLE MOMS, OLDER PARENTS, & LARGE FAMILIES WELCOME, EASY TRAVEL


Oh my, he just needs a little love.  A little stimulation.  Maybe to be put in a walker, or jolly jumper to get his legs stronger.  A family would change his life.  Please spread the word of this boy.
