(AU, 84158364198) Browse eventsWhitford Catholic Primary School caters for approximately 620 students in a co-educational Pre-Kindergarten - Year 6 community. The school is currently fundraising for one it's students, Nate. Here is his story, as told by his mum: Nate was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia - B cell high risk on Wednesday 19 February 2014. Nate underwent intense chemotherapy treatment at PMH. He noticeably started to limp a few weeks after treatment and his left leg would give way on him. His pain threshold is of a true champion and he tried to walk despite the pain - we would later be told that over 3/4 of the femur growth plate had a hole in it and severely fractured. Following a biopsy results revealed on ANZAC day the fatal news that Scedosporium Prolificans Osteomyelitis, an extremely rare fungal that is worse than cancer was attacking Nate's femur. He would be permanently disabled and no one had beaten the fungus without debridement or amputation. Chemotherapy plan had to be modified to try and beat the fungus. Nate had grommets inserted to allow him to do 10 metre "dives" at Fremantle's Hyperbaric Chambers which required him to be in a clear tank for over 2 hours. This required daily routine of being transported by ambulance from PMH to Fremantle. In addition to this Nate had 10+ surgeries to his femur on "Saturdays" to ensure he could continue to go to the chambers. By early June further scans revealed that Nate now had a hole in his sphenoid bone (base of skull). Our worst fears had come true - the infection had gone to a place no one could get to. Nate's motor neurone skills started to decline and his blood count refused to rise naturally and the medicines to push them higher no longer worked. On Friday 19 June 2014, only 5 months since his original diagnosis, we made the decision to bring Nate home and surround him with love and light. It was the worst weekend of our lives and we held a vigil by his side. Something changed after that, Nate started to smile and have fun....he also turned 5. Nate started to improve and was teaching himself all sorts of new things. He was on the improve despite all the painkillers being required for his leg. Further scans were requested and the infection in Nate's head was getting smaller! He was kicking the infection through his love of life and determination! Unfortunately, Nate's leg however, had taken the brunt of the fungus and travelled further up his femur. The decision was made to amputate his leg. Nate suffered horrendous phantom pain and was one of only a few children in Australia to use an Adult drug to help with his pain. Nate continues his chemotherapy treatment to ensure his Leukaemia stays in remission while continuing to rehabilitate for his leg. Due to the chemotherapy Nate's weight and fluid retention continually changes therefore his prosthesis continues to provide challenges just to fit. He is currently being refitted for a new cast and uses his wheelchair in the meantime. He hopes to play Auskick soon and wants to get out there to play cricket on the oval with his mates at school. Once up and walking Nate would love to have the option of a "Running leg". Throughout his childhood this will continue to need to be updated. Please join our school in fundraising for Nate and his ongoing needs.
