1/ Global Development Delay. Roux’s development is severely delayed. No doubt a mixture of brain injury, spending the first year of life mostly laid in a hospital bed and operations one after the other has contributed towards this. When we were told we may need to consider …

2/ end of life care, we were also told that even if he did survive he will probably never develop beyond a newborn and we needed to be prepared for that. But, Roux is smashing goal after goal. First, would he ever hold his head up? Would he smile? Could he play?

3/ Roux is all over the place developmentally. We can’t put an age to him. We work on small steps with him. Speech, feeding independently, feeding with a loaded spoon/fork, throwing, bashing toys, these are the types of things we have worked through. The first time Roux does …

4/ Anything is celebrated with such enthusiasm. The things you normally take for granted. High 5s, a new word or turning a page of his musical book have all meant so much. Roux’s gross and fine motor skills are the biggest challenges as he’s unable to walk and intricate play …

5/ Is still a way off but he will get there. The determination this boy has had so far to get through what he has, tells us he will just keep going and going. We focus on what he can do rather than what he can’t, otherwise you get dragged into self pity and we’ve learnt that’s ..

6/ not a nice place to be. He’s full of personality, brings so much joy to our lives and has the most infectious giggle. We don’t know what he’s capable of but what we do know is that this boy will not give in. #braintumourawarenessmonth

This young man has made me smile watching him prove others wrong. He will go far but only in his time not everyone else’s. Your such a little happy man Roux you keep braking through hurdles

Thanks for sharing Roux’s story. I’m the father of a 39 year old who is developmentally challenged—he remains my greatest teacher and inspirational source. The key you mentioned in tweet/5–focus on what people can do, not what they can’t. Great life lesson writ large.

Delightful little boy. So lucky to have wonderful parents bringing out the best in him. ❤️

Hes a fighter and he has a family who fights with him.

My goodness what an absolutely gorgeous little boy,his smile and laughter❤️ he is lucky to have the most loving parents too that obviously have made this gorgeous boy who he is,xxxx
