Story
Louise's story
I am Louise's carer and friend of the family. therefor me, her brother and sister will be doing a bunjee jump in April to raise awareness to this cause!
Louise is 24 years old. She has epilepsy, severe learning difficulties and global development delay, she she has had these conditions since she was a baby but in the past two years has developed osteoporosis and scoliosis in her spine.
Before this Louise was able to walk without support and use the stairs, independently use the toilet and only needed her wheelchair when had recently had a seizure and was still unsteady on her feet.
Unfortunately after developing these conditions she has had her Independence taken away from her and now has to use a wheelchair all the time other than being transferred to the toilet or seated on a sofa or chair where she can still stand with some independence.
Due to this condition Louise's spine is now curved at 90 degrees, the doctors want to operate and give her a spinal rod in which her chance of survival is low and her bones could crumble due to the bone conditions. Then again if she did survive the op she would never walk or stand again. Family desperately do not want this operation as her spine is still flexible and can be manipulated by a back brace with has been benefiting her these Past 4 months, and has stopped her spine getting any worse.
To continue preventing her spine getting worse and having the potentially dangerous operation professionals have suggested a specialised chair for her home. Unfortunately this chair is very expensive and is not realistic for the family to pay for. So please donate to improve Louise's quality of life, health and happiness.
