My water broke at 22 weeks 1 day (this is called PPROM.) Many women are told that this situation means “0% chance of survival” and/or “no quality of life if the baby survives” and/or “termination is the only option.”
None of the above is true. Here is my 0%
Thank you
@UPS
for giving my brother a chance & promoting inclusion in the workforce. Jake has Down Syndrome but that doesn’t stop him! He loves his new job running packages up to 8 hours per day. That’s after working 6-10 am every morning at the golf course. I’m so proud of him!
If you wanna know what kind of guy Nolan Turner is, just know that he takes time out of his busy schedule to frequently hang out with my brother,
@thejakepratt
who attends the Clemson Life program. He’s a tremedous person and I couldn’t be happier for him!
Is it Clemson or Auburn? Watch
@thejakepratt
announce his big college decision! 👀
If you would like to help Jake achieve his dream, a go fund me has been set up to help with his college expenses:
Thank you for all the support and love & GO TIGERS!
19 years ago, a doctor told my parents that
@thejakepratt
would never be a "functional member of society." Luckily, nobody ever told Jake that! Just look at my little brother walking across this stage and heading to
@clemsonlife1
this fall. 😭

This is how we act for a 6 win team. If you’re a recruit how can you not want to be a part of what happens when we are back competing for championships again. Because, make no mistake, it’s coming.
Twitter & Auburn family, please pray for my sweet Memaw. Her drs found cancer in her pancreas on Friday. She is having procedure tomorrow & the results will determine the course of action. She is a life-long AU fan but this was her first & only game in person (AU vs FL, 2011)
@auburnkim
Ma’am I help run an entire organization for 22 weekers. We have featured hundreds of stories of survivors. The hospital where my son was born has an almost 70% survival rate for 22 weekers. Hence the significance of me being there.
@wheelssoaps68
My brother was not just handed this. He is actually on the team. He goes to every practice and does every drill. He works out on his own too
Happy 23rd Birthday to the actual best brother in the world,
@thejakepratt
. He has the kindest heart, works harder than anyone I know, and is honestly one of my heroes.
He never forgets anyone’s birthday and is always the first to tell them happy birthday. Show him some ❤️ today!
My brother,
@thejakepratt
, was scheduled to have his big graduation ceremony tomorrow for Clemson LIFE. That’s on hold now because of COVID, so let’s see if Twitter can show him some love! 💙💛
Congratulations, Jake!
Touring Auburn with my son today and we happened to see my favorite Auburn basketball player,
@Swdkd10
who was nice enough to take a picture with me. War Eagle!!!! 🦅
Convo with
@thejakepratt
: “I had to delete my Snapchat because girls kept adding me and I don’t want another girlfriend. I have Grace.” Take note, guys.
The fact that Harsin was asked to come back from vacation and he refused makes me like him even more 🤣
A culture change is needed. Give the man a chance to do the job he was hired to do.
I wasn’t happy with the way the season ended; who was? But Rome wasn’t built in a day.
One way or another, the Bryan Harsin saga will come to an end soon. How we got here, some additional commentary on Harsin's tenure at Auburn, recent player meetings with Allen Green, and what's next.
(On3+) STORY:
From 2 lbs 2 oz to 30 lbs (FINALLY!)
We have been promising him a 30 pound party for weeks to encourage him to eat like a big boy and now we finally get to have it 🎉
My bammer husband is literally campaigning to try to get more twitter followers than me before the national championship game tomorrow night. Come on, Auburn family. Don’t let me down 🤣
I will follow back!

@people
@thejakepratt
asked me to post to recognize his incredible driver, Richard. Richard has been a great teacher, mentor, and friend to Jake. Thank you, Richard!
@charmagh6
I 100% credit the doctors and the hospital where I received such great care all the time. I also credit God for putting me in exactly the right place and for being with us every step of the way.
If you’re hating on
@Swdkd10
go ahead and hit the unfollow button. And keep that same energy when he goes off in the tourney. He had a bad day, but just wait and see how he comes back.
My sweet brother,
@thejakepratt
, has been working so hard on his application for
@clemsonlife1
College is so important to him and it makes my heart so happy that these programs exist to give him a shot at making his biggest dream come true ❤️
I have reached my max amount of follows for the past 24 hours but I promise I will follow everyone back ASAP. The Auburn family is the BEST because I am now beating my husband by almost 1000 followers!
#WarEagle
If you are going to tweet at one of our players then put down the phone, go take a walk, and get a grip. You don’t think they are hurting right now 1000% worse than any fan possibly could? I still love this team and WDE!
@anharris0904
He actually hung on for 4 more weeks after rupture and made it to 26 weeks before he was born. But the hospital where he was born routinely saves 22 weekers and was ready and willing to assist from Day 1. So we were so very lucky to be there!
These 2 guys don’t see “Jake with Down Syndrome.” They see their friend from college at Clemson. The one they drove 5 hours, one way to visit. I call it “The Jake Effect”
He shows people what drive & determination to succeed looks like. He just loves. And in return, he is loved.
Jake appreciates all the love & support being shown to him on social media & in the Down Syndrome community. He asked me to post again to recognize his driver & mentor, Richard. Richard has taught him so much & has been incredible with Jake. Thank you, Richard!

@UPS
Chick-fil-A drive-thru gives me anxiety bc they are too fast and they are trying to hand me food and I'm like calm down, Debra I haven't even put my debit card down or put my drink in my drink holder.
My thoughts regarding Alabama’s public health document that lists “mental retardation” (THEIR words, not mine) as a disqualifier for ventilation in a time of crisis.
Please share to spread awareness. This policy needs to change immediately.

Today, the Auburn family lost a legend and the world lost a man with a heart of gold. RIP Coach Dye. Thank you for the kindness and love you showed my brother,
@thejakepratt
and family when they visited Auburn. You will be missed and your legacy will live on forever.
#WarEagle
I know this is an insane long shot, but if anyone has any way to get in touch with
@Zionwilliamson
please let me know.
@thejakepratt
is a HUGE fan and we are in New Orleans for the Down Syndrome conference and he keeps asking me if Zion can come watch him speak tonight 😩
Everybody help me wish a Happy 25th Birthday to the legendary
@thejakepratt
.
Jake, you are the best and coolest brother in the world. I am so amazed by you every single day. I love you with all my heart!
Happy Birthday to “that famous guy” who also happens to be my baby brother
@thejakepratt
! I hope you have the best Taylor Swift year ever. Keep making your dreams come true! Y’all please blow him up with happy birthday wishes! ❤️
