Montana's disability bathroom
Donation protected
My beautiful, bright, happy, fun loving, little girl Montana, was born at 32 weeks in Brisbane, Australia. She was a fighter, from the moment she arrived & the sunshine in my life. Montana's CP, didn't shows it ugly head, till she was about 12 months old. when she wasn't sitting & was military crawling. At 18 months, we got the diagnosess, that she had dyplegic Cerebral Palsy. This effects her lower part of her body, her legs. She would always have it & physio therapy would be required, through out all her life. We were told, that she would more than likely need hip surgery & that she may not walk.
Well! Montana, has proved them wrong in the walking part, as she started walking with a walker at age 3. With her determination & strength Montana has proved that anything is possible, even the impossible.
Montana is now 7 and has just undergone the most painful surgery of her life. She has had her hips fixed. Double femoral derotation hip surgery. 25/05/15

What an amazing child! We were in hospital for 8 days (I was with her 24/7). My goodness, she just amazed me even more , with her determination & strength. The pain she endured, was more that I could bare, let alone my little girl, but she did and did it amazingly. She truly is my Hero!
We are home now. Yesterday, was 2 weeks since her surgery. Montana has physio therapy daily with me, to get her back on her feet walking. she has a block of 4 days of intense Physiotherapy in Brisbane over the school holidays. Which we will have to stay down there for that period.
We are currently, trying to get a disability bathroom finished for her, but with only one income coming in, we have run out of funds. It is only a very basic bathroom, with a wet shower and with a bench for Montana to sit on, vanity & toilet. Yet, the cost is crazy.
If you would like to help make life at home for Montana, more easy, please help!
Thank you so much, for reading about our little girl Montana. Yes, she is truly special. You would love her, as everyone who meets her does. She melts your heart.
thank you
