Skye Hall

Skye Benjamin Hall

November 5 2008 - August 29 2014

Age: 5 years old 

Skye was born on November 5, 2008. The pregnancy and birth were normal, and during his formative years, Skye has been a healthy and happy young boy. Skye has a younger brother named Jesse, he was always by his side day and night and a new family member has joined Beau Hall, but Skye was not able to be here to meet his new baby brother.

On Friday July 26 2013, Skye felt a little nauseous when he woke up, but as the day progressed, the nausea disappeared and he was his usual bubbly self. The pattern repeated itself the next day, but this time, he vomited. They suspected that he had eaten something which had disagreed with him, but It became a daily pattern, and after a few days, they booked to see the GP.This was to be the beginning of a very difficult journey.

Skye was diagnosed with a brain tumour, the tumour was identified as a Grade IV metastatic medulloblastoma. Instead of getting stronger, it was apparent that Skye was getting weaker and an emergency MRI scan on the May 20, 2014 revealed that there were widespread White Matter Lesions within the brain and spinal cord. It was initially diagnosed as radio-necrosis, which had been brought on by the combination of therapies which he has endured. It was later confirmed as radio-chemo neurotoxicity.

He was in a state of paraplegia, with double incontinence, and very poor use of his upper limbs and hands. But he fought on. The treatment left him weak and vulnerable. Skye Benjamin Hall sadly died at home on August 29 2014.
