I'm overwhelmed by this incredible support. We can't believe Mack has been rejected for surgery - the only thing that could extend his life, but your 10,000 signatures is giving me the energy to keep fighting. After we started this petition and the Adelaide Advertiser writing about our story, Premier Jay Weatherill says the hospital will look at our case again. But we know from experience that all their committee will be is a recommendation that could be rejected again. It's a vicious circle that means Mack could die before getting this surgery. We need Mr Weatherill to intervene to help Mack - ensuring the surgery that could extend his life isn't deemed a "burden" on society. That's our son's life. PLEASE can you help by posting a comment on Premier Weatherill's Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/JayWeatherillMP Or if you're not on Facebook, contact him at: http://www.premier.sa.gov.au/index.php/contact Here's the newspaper story from the weekend: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/lifestyle/health/mother-of-young-boy-2-with-rare-disease-in-emotional-plea-for-urgent-medical-help/story-fni0diad-1227366038063 Thank you for all your help!!
