A big diagnosis for little Lawson
From the day Lawson was born, his parents, Skye and Damien struggled to feel heard about their concerns for their son’s health.
“No one was listening to us. That was so frustrating, so upsetting. Months went by and Lawson wasn’t meeting any of his milestones. He wasn’t crawling, he wasn’t sitting or standing, he wasn’t talking. It got very scary,” recalls Skye.
Sadly, Lawson was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that affects the muscles in his body, called muscular dystrophy, when he was two years old.
Challenges of every day life
Describing an average day for Lawson and her family, Skye mentions that it’s an everyday struggle.
“The day usually starts with Lawson crying out for help, as he can’t get out of bed on his own…breakfast is the next challenge. Because Lawson can’t break down food, he has a feeding tube that pumps liquid food into his stomach. Using it isn’t very pleasant, so he often doesn’t want to eat.”
Skye also says that her son has endless medical appointments, “Up to six or seven a week. Physio, occupational therapy, specialists to help him with his speech and his eating.”
She explains how heartbreaking it is that Lawson feels anxious about playing with other kids because of his feeding tube and that he wonders why other kids can do things that he cannot.
Taking control at the 'DIG IT' park
At the ‘DIG IT’ mini excavator park on Tamborine Mountain, Lawson was put in the driver’s seat; enabled to make his own decisions.
“Lawson had the most fantastic time. Having a go in the driving seat of a digger, piling up big mounds of dirt, he just went wild! And he got to use another machine with a wrecking ball, to knock down a big tower of tyres,” said Skye.
After returning home, Skye noticed a real difference in her son’s outlook.
“Lawson just couldn’t stop smiling afterwards. He was like a totally different child, all happy and cheeky.”
