ENTRY ONE - JAYDEE & DAMIEN


My name is Jaydee & I have been with my partner Damien for 4 years and we have 2 beautiful girls together. I believe we should win your competition because I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for my best friend, partner and future husband.

12 months ago Damien found me having a seizure - I was 8 months pregnant. After an Emergency caesarean, numerous tests, and specialist opinions, it was found that I had a brain infection caused from a severe ear infection. After one week in ICU followed by daily trips to the hospital for new doses of medication to be administrated via PICC lines, I suffered DVT in my arm. Throughout this time Damien had to take a lot of time off work to become the main caregiver for our family.  It was thought I had an infection in the mastoid bone, and needed surgery. After 9 months on the waiting list and numerous trips to hospital, it was found my brain had ruptured into my ear drum. A week away in Royal Hobart hospital, and 3 months on I'm planning the wedding of our dreams. 

The major parts of our wedding are organised, it's the finer details that add up in costs that would make our wedding perfect, and the image we have both envisioned. Winning the competition would be the start of our new lives together, to leave this behind us.
