Our beautiful Myah and living life everyday with Hydrocephalus, Epilepsy, Tracheoesophageal fistula, peg Feeds, hearing and vison issues. Follow our journey
Our beautiful Myah will face another day in theatre 2moro for more surgery on her head/shunt. I always try to stay positive but I'm so broken right now, life can be so shit sometimes. Her 4th major surgery in as many weeks. She's just a 5yr old child who doesn't deserve all this
Still not out of the woods and will need a few weeks in hospital BUT. ..... Out of ICU and into the ward (and shes delighted too). 💪

Our hospice stay didn't go as planned as we had leave there and be admitted to hospital yesterday due to being so unwell. Just hoping she's well enough for planned surgery for the morning. We really need this to go ahead as we need answers 🙏 wee woman never gets a break 😭
Update on myah. She had another operation tonight to remove her port as they think this was what was causing her infection. She has a rare infection in her blood and sepsis. She's is now in intensive care as her body is very weak and poorly. We Pray for a better tomorrow. 🙏
So many messages asking after our girl. She's still a few weeks in hospital ahead of her but at least that smile is back. Hopefully home for the big man coming 🎅 Thankyou for the genuine care, greatly appreciated 💜

Right, so the child who gave us the fright of our lives this past few days is at her lark again. Yesterday she was very sick, that sick she needed a bed in intensive care. The amazing surgeons operated and removed the source of infection and today she's like a diff child 🥰🙏
Why is she sitting there like she's 25, and not 5. 🙈🤣🤣 sass and attitude LOL... this is the Myah we know and love. Complete hurricane🌀 - so good to see her back smiling again.

Our big girl away for a few days respite at the Children's Hospice before going into hospital for surgery on Thursday. So lucky to have such amazing places and facilities for our girl 💜💛
@nichildrenshosp
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone... We have met so many new friends and been overwhelmed by a sea of genuine care and support that we have recieved during some tough times. Thankyou all so much for helping us on our journey. Here's to a happy, healthy 2024. 💜 stay safe
Our TOF baby.
Our beautiful Myah was born with type C "Oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula". This was repaired when she was 1 day old successfully but unfortunately she never developed suck or swallow and is now completely NIL BY MOUTH as a result.
Running, walking, crawling and even standing are just some of the things we all take for granted. NOT MYAH. She has to work so hard, and she is doing so well. Geting stronger every week. Keep it up my girl, you make so proud ❤️❤️❤️

Being a parent of a child with additional needs is so tough. In the space of 24 hrs we have went from a happy, dancing, cheeky little girl to one whos on her way to theatre for her 4th brain surgery as I type. Please pray my baby comes thru this well. 💔💔 - god is good 🙏

Proudest mummy on the planet right now reading this. My beautiful wee daughter 🥰 most of us take things like walking and eating for granted but this wee woman taught me never to take anything in life for granted. She has to work so hard. Well done baby 😘😘
Our wee woman slighty better tonight, just needs her body to rest in hospital for a while.. Some scans and tests to see why she is so poorly. Hopefully answers soon - Thankyou so much everyone for the messages and comments. ❤️❤️
