In 4 days time Immy will be 1 year post-SDR. The time has flown by, and she has come such a tremendously long way. Next Saturday we fly back for a 1 year review and for her to have the Percs (sub-cutaneous tendon lengthening) that we postponed last year, plus a fortnight of physio and [...]

Shamefacedly here I am again months after the previous post, not having updated in ages. I promise to update the whole site very soon, removing the references to fundraising and updating the videos and photos, but I’m genuinely just as busy as I was when we were fundraising. Luckily my fab friends Swati and Nesh, [...]

Wow – I can’t really believe it’s been 6 months already since Immy’s surgery. It seems unbelievable that this time last year we’d just sent our info in to St Louis, but had not even had the go-ahead. That arrived on November 29 – “strongly recommending” that she had SDR! We had some idea what [...]

I’ve been letting the best be the enemy of the good again, and not getting round to updating this blog. Apologies to all of my non-facebook friends, who, consequently, must have thought we’d disappeared off the planet! Imogen continues to make astonishing progress. Every week she gets stronger and able to do something (albeit small) [...]

The last couple of weeks have been very hard work indeed for Immy, and she’s definitely in need for a break from the routine and a summer holiday – although I suspect we’ll be working her harder than ever. We were very fortunate to get a cancellation block of therapy at the Bobath Children’s Therapy [...]

I thought I’d write down a few thoughts before bedtime, but it’s taken me 20 minutes to delete nearly 300 spam postings! Grrr! If you made a legitimate comment and I’ve just deleted it by mistake, please forgive me. I’ve also totted up the funds that have come in from various amazing sources since we [...]

We saw Dr Park again today and he was really pleased with Imogen’s progress. He was pleased with the way she was moving in the walking frame. He felt that she could do more – and that she should take some independent steps in her walking frame soon – we’re aiming for that! He is [...]

I can’t believe there’s only a week to go now. It’s been such an amazing experience all round. We’re into a routine now, with an hour’s physio each day at the hospital, plus half hour of stretches morning and evening and other strengthening exercises on top – and standing and walking at every available opportunity [...]

We’ve now been here a fortnight and are flying home in exactly a fortnight. I gather you’ve got a bit of a heatwave back home and we’ve missed the excitement of the Torch in Cardiff, and will miss the Jubilee celebrations too. It’s been baking hot here today too – hotter than Cardiff I imagine… [...]

Imogen had her SDR surgery a week ago today now. It’s only a week, and I’m sure there’ll be ups and downs to come, but already I can tell you that the benefits have outweighed the downsides. The first day afterwards she was very sick from the anaesthetic but improved rapidly on day 2 and [...]
