WELCOME TO SUPER SURVIVORS INC.
 

     Jacob came into this world on October 17th, 2013 and his daddy (Kyle) couldn’t have been more excited about the birth of his son. There was a concern that he may have been born with an infection, so Jacob had to spend the first seven days of his life in the NICU. Once given the all clear, Jacob was discharged from the hospital and was finally able to go home. He was a beautiful, happy, and healthy baby! He dressed as a pirate to celebrate his first Halloween and as the weeks passed he was reaching all of his developmental milestones. He would smile and laugh, bring his hand to his mouth, coo, and hold his head up to look around this big new world.

 

     January 3rd, 2014 started out like any other day for Kyle, he got up early and got ready for work. He checked in on Jacob who was still sleeping and left around 5: 30 AM to get to work by 6 AM. Around 11:30 AM Kyle received a call informing him that Jacob wasn’t acting like normal and was pretty lethargic. Kyle immediately left work and rushed home where he found Jacob in his car seat set upon the dining room table. Immediately Kyle realized this situation was much more severe than what was initially indicated, Jacob was grey, cold to the touch, and unresponsive. Kyle grabbed his car seat and ran back to the car and rushed to the nearest emergency room. Once they arrived at the hospital, Jacob’s temperature was in the low 90’s and the hospital staff immediately began working to warm him up.  They attempted to place an IV in order to draw blood as well as hydrate him, which resulted in him being stuck 11 times until they were able to get the IV in place. They also performed a spinal tap on Jacob to run further tests, which to this day Kyle says is the hardest thing he has ever had to watch.
