Cerebral palsy op. Unaided walking
Donation protected
Im trying to raise money to better a childs life, there is no funding on the nhs for this operation that costs £32,000.
Tammy is a 4yrs old (16th sept) girl with cerebral palsy that affects her arms, legs & trunk. Due to the tight muscles in Tammy lower body she is unable to sit up unaided, roll ever,crawl or even walk. She is restricted to equipment she has including her electric wheel chair.
This operation means she would be able to walk unaided.
..Every 6-8 months Tammy has to have Botox and have her legs put in cast to reduce the tightness of legs and to give them a stretch. This course her a lot of pain and discomfort but eventually the Botox will stop working.
Its not the same child but has a little info on the operation.
