My Daughter's Recovery Fund
Donation protected
This page has been set up to help my 13 year old Daughter recover.
Here's her story:
In September 2016 when she was 12 years old after having a vaccination at school she woke up the following morning with her legs feeling really heavy & she was unable to walk properly. Within days she couldn't walk at all or even straighten her legs & then she lost sensation in bottom part of both of them.
Over the next few weeks she lost use of both of her legs, then the top half of her body went floppy, her neck control stopped & her arms both stopped working one by one.
She was in and out of hospital from September until November 2016 then from December she spent just over 11 weeks in two local hospitals.
Since 21st February 2017 we have looked after her at home.
Sadly she can now only blink, speak and has regular body spasms. Some days these have been very frantic & others days they are much calmer.
I've set this page up as we are desperate to get her recovered and we believe she needs physical rehabilitation but we can't find a unit anywhere that will take her.
So now we're going to try and do this ourselves at home with the help of private weekly/daily therapies such as neurological physiotherapy, cranial therapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture & Homeopathic remedies plus any other therapies we can find to assist in her recovery.
So many people have kindly offered their support throughout this awful time & suggested we set this up to help her.
Now she's home she also needs some specialist equipment and a carer to help us as she requires 24/7 care as she can't be left alone. We're also providing extra weekly private school tutoring at home as she's very bright and she doesn't want to fall behind with either her language subjects.
She's also having weekly singing lessons at home to give her something positive weekly that she enjoys & it's also really therapeutic for her.
Update June 2017 - We've had some really positive results with all these therapies we're doing and now after 7 months of not being able to move anything she can move her right fingers and thumb very slightly. We are all so thrilled & believe this is the sign for her recovery we really needed.
Every donation received will help fund my daughter's recovery & we appreciate your donation very much.
Thank you for helping my Daughter recover.
Much Love Gini xx
Thank you to every person that has donated to this Go Fund Me page so far.
We've used some money from this recovery fund to buy her a fully supporting wheelchair to use at home and to get her around outside. This changed her life instantly in such a positive way and helped us with her care.
