It's Megan's 3rd Birthday on Saturday (26th March) and the whole family are getting very excited!! We have been busy planning a Dora the Explorer themed Bouncy Castle Party and invited all her friends from school. Straight from that we'll be heading for the Family Race Night being held to raise funds for A Wish for Megan. Poor little girl is going to be shattered, but hopefully VERY VERY Happy x x x

Over the past week Megan has had A LOT in her diary. She's received a standing frame (on loan from the NHS, afterasking for one for a year!!????!?!), and is busy getting used that.

As anticipated the NHS have yet again let Megan down. We have an appointment scheduled tomorrow to collect a pair of leg braces (KAFO's). A cast was taken for these tight fitting supports in July and we attended an initial fitting in September. So far so good we though . . . . . .

Every month Megan has tens of meetings and appointments to attend.
After the Christmas break we're playing catch up and are now getting back into the physio routine. So far megan is progressing really well with building up the strength in her core muscles to wear specialist leg supports (KAFO's).
We're hoping to collect them next Thursday, but we've been waiting for them since the summer, so won't count on it just yet . . . . . . .

Megan is a very cheeky little girl who will soon be celebrating her 3rd Birthday!!
Megan was diagnosed with Spina Bifida while still in the womb, but has never let her disability get in the way of anything. In fact we forget that Megan has a disability at all.
She is a fantastic older sister to Imogen (who has just turned 1) and will be again in July/August when she is joined by another sister (or maybe brother this time)
