All for Ally
Those who know my sister know that she and her husband have hearts of gold. They have forever put family and friends first bringing laughter and happiness to everyone around them.
The arrival of Molly & Joel's first child together, Ally, was always going to be special, the missing piece to make their blended family whole.
Despite all the prenatal testing being normal, to everyone's surprise Ally was born with several birth defects and as a result has been in the Royal Children's Hospital since birth.
They would never ask themselves, but Molly Davis & Joel Davis need your help, now more than ever. Please show your love and support for this beautiful family and let's help relieve some pain where possible. Thank you for your kindness.
Ally’s Journey
Ally was born with several birth defects, including bilateral talipes (club feet), a cleft palate, a microform cleft lip and a small jaw. This makes it very hard for her to swallow and breathe and was straight to the nursery - upon discharge she had two severe episodes at home requiring an ambulance and was transferred to the Royal Children’s Hospital, currently in the ICU.
It was there, at 6 weeks old an MRI confirmed that she was missing her 6th and 7th cranial nerves. Meaning she has complete facial paralysis and will never even have the ability to smile. All genetic tests have come back inconclusive but doctors are querying a very rare neurological condition called Moebius Syndrome - a prevalence of 1-2 cases per million. At present, Ally is unable to manage her oral secretions and remains on CPAP to keep her stable and regular suctioning.
On the 11th of August she is expected to have a jaw distraction surgery which will bring her jaw forward, allowing more space for her tongue and less obstruction in her airway. If Ally cannot manage her secretions after this, she may require a tracheostomy. She is currently only feeding via nasal gastric feeds and may also require a more permanent feeding system if she continues to have trouble swallowing. Once her Ally is stable with her breathing,
Joel and Molly will then need to begin correction on her feet, and later on further cleft surgery. When they finally make it home, she will need regular and on-going follow up with physiotherapy, speech therapy, neurology, maxillofacial specialists and plastic surgeons at RCH.
All funds raised will go directly to Molly and Joel. Your help, however big or small, is greatly appreciated.
