Austin Wade was born a perfectly healthy baby boy on September 7, 2004.

On October 15, 2004, when he was just 5 weeks old, he was taken to the emergency room for what the doctor’s called “severe bleeding of the brain.”  Basically, that just meant that Austin had suffered a stroke.  How in the world can a 5 week old suffer a stroke?  The reason for the stroke was because Austin was not given a Vitamin K shot by the doctors when he was born at home.  This resulted in Austin’s blood not having the ability to coagulate, causing the stroke. The stroke left massive brain damage to more than 50% of Austin’s brain.

Today Austin is severely developmentally delayed.  His parents continue to search the world for help in healing their baby boy.
