Hello
Welcome to my web site, as you navigate around it you will see from the pictures and press
cuttings that I have been seriously ill with Meningococcal Meningitis.The objective of the site
is to keep every one informed of how I am doing as my story has touched a lot of hearts as far away as Australia and America. I also intend to use it to thank the many people who are actively raising funds on my behalf and contribute directly to ensure that my quality of live is taken care of. Please don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail if you have any questions of me Robbie@robbie-jones.co.uk or just to say Hi and I will get back to you.

On Sunday July 6th Robbie was feeling generally unwell, so Jill and Wayne put Robbie to bed with them so that they could keep an eye on him. Just a couple of hours after putting him to bed, Wayne woke up to find Robbie covered in black and blue bruise like marks. He immediately rang for an ambulance, and doctors at University Hospital of North Durham realised it was meningitis and transferred Robbie to Newcastle General Hospital where specialist doctors could help him. Robbie was in a critical condition at Newcastle General for approximately a week and the doctors were unsure if he would survive.

Septicaemia was all over his body, but doctors were hopeful that they wouldn't have to amputate. However Robbie's condition took a turn for the worst on Tuesday July 22nd and doctors made the decision to move him to Newcastle RVI immediately and amputate both his legs to save his life, as the septicaemia was spreading. Robbie's left leg was taken from below the knee and his right leg was taken from above the knee. Surgeons also had to remove the ends of his fingers on his left hand.

Robbie is recovering well and is improving every day but is going to need as much help as possible, so we are trying to raise as much money as we can to aid his recovery and give him the life he deserves.
