His goal is to be able to run around the garden with his younger sister, something we all take for granted. Lukas has worked so hard since his stroke and can now stand, and walk, a little with assistance. Four months followed in the neuro rehabilitation ward where he had to relearn how to talk, eat and move. Not long after he went into cardiac arrest, requiring 30 minutes of CPR, before being placed on an ECMO (heart and lung bypass) machine, saving his life.ĭuring his two weeks in ICU we received the devastating news that Lukas had suffered a stroke following the cardiac arrest. He was transferred from his local hospital to the specialist children’s hospital in Glasgow. The flu virus attacked his heart resulting in myocarditis. In 2017, Lukas become unwell with flu type symptoms. Lukas is an 8 year old boy from Kelso in the Scottish Borders who, up until just before his 4th birthday, was an active and healthy little boy. Just4Children are fundraising to provide Lukas with the ongoing therapy he needs to thrive and to give him the best quality of life and allow him to live up to his full potential.
