Story
This is Zakariah, a dinosaur mad boy.
Yes he is obsessed with dinosaurs . A happy little man who can talk all day about dinosaurs.
Zakariah has been under specilaists since he was 18mths old.
He has numerous problems and still under going more tests.
In April this year I brought Zakariah and excel Elise buggy while waiting for our referral to wheel chair services to go through. Sadly that and a recent one from his physio haven't gone through.
His excel Elise buggy is now on its last legs. The wheels are worn out and learning inwards and the frame has broken in the same place twice...having to keep fixing it myself.
I would like a more robust wheelchair or disability buggy for him. We dont drive, so walk a majority of the time. And we walk everyday.
Zakariah is under these specilaists.
Pedactrics
Physio
Orthotics
Othopedics
Neurology
He has a leg discrepancy
Hypermobile in his feet and ankles. He wears orthotic insoles in his footwear.
We were recently told he has an under roated hippocampus of the left brain. Which causes seizures and epilepsy.
He also has problems with walking. He can't walk properly, let alone stand for long. He suffers from pain in his knees and legs daily. He can't run, jump or walk up or down stairs and struggles with steps. This month, Zakariah will be having more tests on is legs. He will be having an EMG/NERVE CONDUCTION INVESTIGATIONS .
The money raised would help him have a decent mobility aid to go out and about in. And also to be comfortable for him

7 years agoWell Zakariah saw his pedactrics....she loves him. He has been diagnosed with sensory issues and mild behavioural problems. We got a letter back from neurology, saying the serious disabilities have been ruled out. But still waiting for the results from the electronic/NERVE testing and some other info from genetics. As the neurologist said 'he has an unusual gait when walking and can't lift his legs'. Still he can't get up or down our stairs at home, and he cant walk far without being tired and in pain.

7 years agoWe received a letter from wheelchair services. They will provide Zakariah with a Dobuggy (similar to a maclaren major elite)without even seeing him. Spoke to them and that is the best they will do. Feel let down by them. As zakariah's physio wants him in something more stable. On the plus side,Zakariah's recent hospital test on his legs went well. Should get the results soon. Next stop pedactrics in November
