Results of shaken baby syndrome:Joshua clenching fists.MOV

This is a video of our recently adopted little boy who is severely handicapped due to shaking baby syndrome. He functions at the level of a 3 to 3 1/2 month old for the rest of his life. He can't talk, see, walk, eat, run and play, etc. But he can smile, cuddle and love and oh how much we love him back! Before the frustration of a crying baby drives a parent "over the edge" please look at our son and see what can happen after they are shaken into this permanent life style. We are trying to get a grant to aid us in the education process of all new parents and repeat parents to help prevent the further injury of these precious babies. Here's hoping!

You are so sweet and so right.......thank you so much for understanding our little one's horrible path he has to follow by no choice of his own! If you can help just ONE person not to shake their baby, you would have changed the world.....thank you.

Yes he is on continious feedings. He once had a G tube, but his little tummy just won't allow anything in it anymore. It just won't work. So he now has a G/J tube. He is now fed directly through his Jejunum. For those who don't know, that is where you food would go "after" leaving the stomach. Thanks for commenting.....Joshua's mom

I do hear what you are saying, but Joshua's life is full. He plays all day and cuddles when he needs a hug. His is now 4 and will be 5 this September. He's going into kindergarden this fall. He brings smiles to his classmates and is teaching them how to be caring adults some day.. I can assure you Joshua is NOT in pain and we do all we can to give him the best life possible..

Isn't it sad when someone like BootyFister makes a rude comment on my little boy? It's just for their sick way of getting attention. They thrive on it at others expense. So I ask all of those who may see this not to respond to it, That only feeds this persons sick psychy. Thanks.....Joshu's mom

I a so touch by all your caring comments about Joshua. He just had his 4th birthday in September and is doing ok. Now his heart rate is irregular and often had very fast heart beats that is concerning his heart doctor. Life here is a challenge for our little man but a simple smile from Joshua and our hearts grow bigger. We would do anything for him.
