Rory’s wish to WALK

Donation protected
It’s my little boy Rory’s wish to walk ❤️ Rory had a very traumatic birth, he was born 8 weeks early and in critical condition, it was hour by hour with him in the intensive care baby unit, he fought so hard to stay here with me, he is my miracle boy and a complete blessing!! I am so proud of Rory ❤️ He has overcome so much in his life already! Rory is my little fighter He is the sunshine in my life! He has Cerebral palsy quadriplegia, Periventricular leukomalacia with (PVL) the area of damaged brain tissue can affect the nerve cells that control motor movements. The damaged nerve cells cause the muscles to become tight or (spastic) and hard to move. This is a disorder that causes problems with muscle control. Rory also has cortical visual impairment or CVI, this is a disorder caused by damage to the parts of the brain that process vision. Rory will need to have retina surgery in the next few months. At home we will need to make adaptations suitable to Rory’s needs, we will need to build Rory his own adapted bedroom, bathroom and physiotheraphy room and he will need a hoist system. It’s #Roryswishtowalk he has a lot to overcome & a lot of hard work ahead if his wish is to come true! He will need neurological rehabilitation, physiotheraphy, occupational therapy & to continue with his equine therapy this can only happen with your support ❤️ Nothing compares to the love I feel for my little man. Rory’s never been a moments trouble, he is the best part of my life!! I love him beyond measure and I thank god for him everyday, he brings so much happiness and joy wherever he goes! I am delighted to say despite what the medical professionals said Rory is able to talk and I am looking forward to the day when we can go for a walk arm in arm. Rory has undergone major pelvic reconstruction surgery, double hip surgery and tendon lengthening surgery in the USA. Going forward Rory will require follow up surgery to remove the pins and plates from his hips along with surgery to stop his leg growth. Rorys needs are vast due his disability and while at the moment I am very overwhelmed I am also very hopeful for Rory and his future. Rory is young, strong and has a never give up attitude, he is making huge strides everyday and he is so determined to walk! I need your support to help him to reach his full potential. If you can, please support Rory on his wish to walk journey. I know he can do it!
Rory knows he can do it!!!
It will take hard work, courage, determination and a team of supporters who believe as we do "to never give up!" ❤️❤️ #TeamRory #Roryswishtowalk
