If you ever wanted to disappear forever, especially from the minds of others who want your blood, what could be the best way?
Would it be to be killed and eaten by a ferocious crocodile, surely that could work wouldn't it? No parent should have to watch their child die, leaving only a memory of heartache and tears. Every child has the right to live the very best life they can.
Would it be to be killed and eaten by a ferocious crocodile, surely that could work wouldn't it? No parent should have to watch their child die, leaving only a memory of heartache and tears. Every child has the right to live the very best life they can.
Little Tommy was in trouble from the day he was born. Wrong diagnoses from his child hating GP, continuing troubles, wracked with seizures, Tommy constantly cried and seldom slept. Deep inside he was begging for help, and never experienced a 'happy day.'
Finally his doctor was dumped, his father had discovered a reliable paediatrician. Firstly he was diagnosed with Meningitis, spending a long time in hospital he managed to beat it. For a while he appeared to be going better, could he have a future?
Then he began to go downhill, and this time it was different. After considerable testing he was given the worst of prognoses, he had only a short time to live and would be dead before he reached his fifth birthday. A little boy, with what should have been a life to be had before him, had been given a death sentence, it was an incurable disease, there was little could be done for him in Australia.
His mother Jean was now a full time stay at home mum, Harry worked in a money grabbing finance company which made huge profits by whatever means they could. Harry and Jean refused to accept Tommy's projected fate, they would never let him go, and would fight until their last breath to find something that would give Tommy a future. No matter the cost they would make it happen. Where a child's death is concerned, and you are the parents, there are no barriers, no limitations, you will do anything to save your child.
The challenge was to find somewhere in the world there was a saviour, and if they found one, no matter the cost, they would get the money somehow and go anywhere to try and save poor little Tommy. It should never happen, that you have to go to your child's funeral. This is a gripping story which pushes past ethics, demands sacrifices, and breaks past barriers in an attempt to succeed.
