Molli is a premature baby and lives with cerebral palsy (CP), a central nervous system injury.<\/p>\n
It arrived in August 2022, a little over 6 weeks earlier than expected.<\/p>\n
Being a premature baby, all statuses are measured against his corrected - planned - date of birth, so although we were patient with his development, his unstable head and delayed interest in toys were a cause for some concern, so we booked him in for developmental neurology.<\/p>\n
She was 6 (corrected 4.5) months old when the tests were completed.<\/p>\n
The result: brain damage caused by lack of oxygen. Cerebral palsy. CP cannot be cured.<\/p>\n
The main symptom is disability, but it takes years for all the possible symptoms to show up. ~30% chance of epilepsy - which arrived when Molli was 1.5 years old, may develop speech impairment, may involve intellectual impairment etc.
Molli is almost 3 years old and can't yet turn both ways (healthy babies can do this at about 4-6 months). Her vision is developing more spectacularly, and you can see the world opening up for her day by day.<\/p>\n
The key to its potential lies in development.
She is currently attending vision development, DSGM, DMI therapy, swimming, and conductive pedagogy. She is now ripe for intensive therapies and mobility equipment, the costs of which are currently beyond the means of the foundation set up for her.
The family's aim is to give him every chance to have a happier childhood and later an independent life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
