Southborough - For Fay School physical education teacher Heidi Qua, life took a dramatic turn on Sept. 8, 2004 when her 2-1/2 year old son, Jacob, in a horrific freak accident, fell from a third-story screened dormitory window onto a concrete courtyard below. (Heidi and her husband, David were dorm parents at the school at the time.) Jacob was rushed to UMass Memorial Center where he spent 27 days in a drug-induced coma, 17 of them on a ventilator. After 19 days in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), Jacob was moved to Franciscan Children's Hospital and Rehabilitation Center in Brighton where he spent three months doing in-patient rehabilitation. At the time, Jacob was functioning at the level of a seven-month old. While Qua watched her son struggle with simple tasks, she found reasons to feel blessed.
