Heroes Who Inspire All of Us — #BackToSchool

This little pediatric hero is Jackson! Jackson was born in March and was diagnosed before birth with, “ … a unique mutation on the COL1A1 gene which pointed to Osteogenesis Imperfecta” (www.andthestorybegins.com - Jackso’s mother’s blog). Osteogenesis Imperfecta are genetic disorders that mainly affect the bones making them more prone to fracture. OI occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals and can be diagnosed after the birth. Fast forward to Jackson’s birth - he was delivered by c-section and was reported to be stable and breathing well on oxygen. Jackson was a miracle baby… and delivered in the midst of a pandemic! A lot of faith and hope goes into pregnancy, especially when things don’t always go as planned. Abby and her family remained hopeful and took Jackson’s pediatric battle by storm. We are very thankful that Jackson was able to be delivered safely and is continuing to be a pediatric hero! We hope this story can inspire other moms experiencing pregnancy right now during CoVid as well as moms who may have pediatric battles. Fenrici is praying for the safety of our pediatric heroes, and we appreciate you! Thank you Abby for allowing us to share Jackson’s story.

“My name is Fatima, I would like to share my story of resilience. After years of hoping to have a child naturally my husband Jaycee and I decided to finally seek out for help. Unfortunately at the young age of 26, I was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve, basically, I have low egg supply and only had a 5% chance of natural conception. This news devastated us and the only option to have a child naturally would be through In vitro fertilization (IVF) with only a 50 percent chance of success. After many tears and prayers later we decided to take that risk and try IVF and with the grace of God and science, we welcomed my son Cristiano at 4lb 14oz born 10-14-2014 who’s is currently 4! I can’t imagine my life without him. He completes our family. We are so lucky and blessed to have our little dude.” An amazing story of resilience told by @fatimamagg! We hope to inspire and encourage all of those who are battling any type of battle! Fenrici salutes your amazing perseverance and bravery!
