What other People Say About Veronika Last year I came across a resource called “What I’d Like You to Know About Me” or “About Me” for short. I was offered to opportunity to create one

To Google or not to Google…. To Google or not to Google?, That is the question…..Last October when we saw Veronika’s paediatrician, I asked if we could see a baby neurologist. I was shocked when

Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou….No really THANKYOU. Oh my goodness, What a week. What started our as my latest blog post, about my little project, to get Veronika a hydrotherapy spa, to give her every chance to
How do you explain to your 6 year old what’s going to happen tomorrow morning the 16th April?
This is something that I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about over the last few weeks.
The answer came from school in the end….as Veronika and I look through this book her teacher and classmates made. Her peers have all created their own page and her teacher put it together into a book that one of Veronikas teacher assistants delivered last week. Each page has a special message f…or Veronika, it’s full of rainbows, butterflies and love hearts. 3 of Veronika’s favourite things.
Tomorrow morning at 7am we will take the yellow lift to level 3 to surgery reception…..Sometime tomorrow morning Veronika will undergo a left hip reconstruction. This is as big as it gets as far as hip surgery goes. Veronika will then be put into a spica, which is a plaster cast from her waist down. We have been told recovery will be long and slow. We have also been told that ‘realistically there is a strong possibility that Veronika will not walk again following this surgery’. I have let the surgeon know that ‘we were told after Veronika’s first MRI when she was a week old that she would never walk, if anyone can learn to walk twice its our Veronika’. I BELIEVE Veronika Will Walk again. We have a great medical team supporting us, we have a massive family and friends team supporting us. We are blessed that when our daughter goes through this process that we know there are so many people sending their love, prayers and thoughts our girls way.
So tonight Veronika and I talked about tomorrow, and I explained as simply as I can what will happen.
