Special Needs Family Session: Jones Family in Fuquay Varina
Over the last few months I’ve been working on a special project to document families on unique journeys: families living with the challenges of disability and special needs.
It was such a joy to spend time with this sweet family. These two gorgeous children were born at 25 weeks and 2 days. They weighed just little over 1 pound each. Their mother, Eda, shared with me that these twins fought hard from the very beginning and their resilience gives her strength. Declan contracted meningitis while in the NICU. The meningitis causes severe damage to his already fragile brain, which lead to Cerebral Palsy (CP.org).
CP is the leading cause of childhood disabilities in the U.S and in Declan’s case his CP is severe, and he is not able to walk or communicate.
There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but supportive treatments, medications, and therapies can bring comfort.
This dear family has over come so much to get to where they are today, and their resilience and love for each other is so clear.
