00:00I'm in the Hartlepool home with Sarah Roberts. Am I right in saying that your son Jacob was
00:06not well last year and didn't have a good Christmas?
00:08He was very, very poorly, yes.
00:10Can I ask what was wrong with him?
00:11He had pneumonia and that led to a complication on his left lung which made it collapse. So
00:19he was then transferred to Freeman's Hospital to have major surgery on his lung.
00:23That must have been very worrying for you.
00:25It was a bit touch and go.
00:27Really?
00:28Yes, and we were very worried.
00:30So how's the progress been over this past year?
00:32It was rough to begin with, but he's slowly recovered and better and we're looking forward
00:40to this Christmas.
00:41He sat beside me and he's humbling his hand about you doing your video. You've had to
00:45be doing this now than where you were last year.
00:47Yes, definitely.
00:48Have a nice Christmas.
