Life as a Toddler with a Progressive Disease (TK2D)

[@ameliesayshola8854]

I can tell the brothers are suffering due to being isolated due to covid. It isn’t normal to be cut off from one’s peers at that age for so long. It is selfless of them to do that to keep Jeremiah from getting sick but I hope they do get a chance to get out from time to time. What a heartbreaking situation all around. Mom is a very strong individual.

[@OKBoomer2k]

I was hoping someone would mention this. I really feel bad for the other 3 boys. Isolation/Quarantine is awful!

[@MypronounIsKing]

Dude it’s a lot deeper then quarantine. They don’t have a mother bc she’s constantly dealing w the one kid. Does no one else see this? I feel horrible for them

[@ameliesayshola8854]

@@MypronounIsKing I don’t like to make too many assumptions on just one video but I can imagine Jeremiah requires more care and attention from Mom. Any family dealing with a child with complicated health issues/developmentally delayed/special needs is going to impact the other siblings in some way, it is inevitable.

I can't believe the doctors would say Jeremiah must be "lazy" to not be able to lift his head. What an amazing mom. His brothers are very sweet too.💕

[@GrammyAmanda]

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t think babies can be lazy. Regression in the early years is a huge red flag.

[@zowi197]

actually that happened to me, I was unable to walk so my mom took me to the doctor, he found out that I actually had the strength to do it and I just didn't want to, however a few months later I started walking by myself

[@suzannep]

whenever a healthcare provider tells someone that they or their child is "lazy" as the reason for some symptom I take that as code for the doctor is lazy and unwilling to search for answers.

[@keyanna925]

As a childcare provider I unfortunately hear this all too often from other providers and parents as well, it’s often assumed children are “choosing” to be resistive/difficult which leaves many to go undiagnosed or without any help for far too long

doctors say all kind of things thats not true it's their opinion glad his mother recorded him she proved them wrong

It would have been difficult for the brothers to tell how they really feel, in front of their mother and ill brother. They both seemed subdued and perhaps have strong feelings that they could not admit to. They live with their dad and see their mother at weekends, when she will still be giving their sick brother 100 percent care and attention. I felt their sadness.

[@mawmawmakeup3602]

It bothers me when people feel the need to go and leave negative comments on social media or families sharing what they are going through with sick children... You never know what to do til your in that situation And you want to give your child every possibility they can have to be comfortable and happy. As a parent there isnt a thing you wouldn't do to have a healthy happy child and sometimes people are put in situations where they dont get healthy. And making your child as happy as they can be for the time they have them is the top priority. I cant imagine leaving a negative comment on a sick childs post... like the family doesnt have enough to think about and feel and deal with. They are dealing with it every single day. They dont need the negative comments. Sending love for this baby boy. I hope they find their cure. I hope he has all the happy wiggles in the world. And I send you and your beautiful family love prayers and hope. You are all doing the best you can for him.

[@Laura_G]

Such a brilliant mother. Her comment on God given creativity used to enhance our quality of life through such things as medical care and devices is spot on. It seemed to me that Jeremiah knew his brothers and mother were talking about him!

[@Laura_G]

@@yoshtg I understand what you are saying. I do support the idea of applying creativity to benefitting the lives of others, that's the point. That lovely mother is coping with hardship and this is her framework. We have two special needs children in our extended family and it is a challenge every single day.

[@Laura_G]

@@YourInASoulTrap karmic circumstances perhaps. We have two special needs children in my extended family and I always wonder what they are learning by going through these unusual and challenging circumstances.

​@@yoshtg Lets not. There is no reason to attack someone's beliefs especially in the context of this mother's tragic situation.

WHAT A BADASS MOM! 🖤 Jeremiah seems like a handful but all of ya'll are doing an awesome job. Just try to stay strong guys, yall are so blessed to have eachother. Everything all of you goes through makes you a stronger person. Even on the bad days you're going to find yourself laughing or smiling later, it's marathon not a race.

[@MaybeitsmeJulia]

I love how the oldest brother talks about Jeremiah. I don't think it's easy especially on young people to live in the situation we do, so I don't blame them for feeling like it's a sacrifice. But I can tell there is love in this family, and I think the mother is the one who has taught all that love. To her I wish all the strenght and happiness, she seems like she draws from God so I hope all blessings to her and her family. Jeremiah got the winning ticket to be born with the love surrounding him.

[@littlerubiesdaycare]

Jeremiah is so beautiful, and I am glad he has such a supportive family. His mom is a superhero. I am a preschool teacher and understand what it takes to take care of toddlers who are relatively healthy and independent.

I wish mom had support as in aid to come and do most of the work for Jeremiah because her 3 older boys seem like they're not getting enough time with mom. I know it's not her fault but the other kids need mommy time too. Hopefully she's able to get an aid to step in so she can distribute her time evenly amongst the boys. I pray Jeremiah gets well 🙏🏽

[@chronicallyfunny811]

I'm on the families Facebook page that mom runs for Jerimiah, they're trying to get nursing they have one nurse who comes in a couple hours a week, and an aide that comes in some days too but she's not allowed to do anything medical with him so she can't leave Jerimiah with him. They are still working on trying to get more nurses to work with him but in some areas, there are not a lot of nurses that do pediatric home care, especially with the level of care Jerimiah needs.

[@chronicallyfunny811]

They were supposed to interview another nurse yesterday but she didn't have the experience needed with pediatrics or with any of Jeremiah's equipment, so they didn't end up interviewing her.

[@KB-wk3th]

Just wanted to drop by to say hello and thanks for the video. We basically ran an ICU out of our living room for 2.5 years for my mother who was on life support--tracheostomy, ventilator, suctioning, tube fed, etc. It was the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life, but I don't regret the decisions we made, and I certainly don't regret the extra time we got with her. Stay strong--try not to let other people's opinions affect you. People like to make cerebral judgements or predictions about what they would or would not do in your shoes. But unless they're actually thrown into what is frequently the most emotionally distraught situation they'll ever encounter, NO ONE really knows what they'd do when forced to make a life or death decision for someone they love. Don't forget to do kind things for yourself; it's easy to forget your own needs when you're constantly attending to the needs of someone else, especially when that someone is on life support. I remember feeling very isolated from everyone, and I actually lost a lot of friends because no one could really understand the intensity of what we were going through on a daily basis. I remember one friend asking why I couldn't just, "take a night off" and join her for dinner. Like I had an entire critical care team on stand-by just waiting to come relieve me so I could go to dinner. Anyway, before this gets too long, please know I'm thinking of you and your family. Be well 🙂
