It’s my party & I’ll cry if I want too……

We celebrated the February Clubfoot Unit & Special Care Unit kiddos birthdays on Friday! Yes, I know we were a bit late, but life has been a bit hectic round here lately!

Anyway.

Everything was going to plan, all the kids seated around the tables, when all of a sudden Claire burst into tears! And I mean major tears! Nothing would stop them!

Not singing Happy Birthday - in Chinese & English!

Not blowing out candles on the cake!

Not opening presents!

Nothing!

She just continued to cry!

She did stop however … to eat cake!

Which she enjoyed, all the while closely guarding her gifts – a bunny, a Hello Kitty blanket, hair ties and a bag.

By end of the celebration … she was back to her happy self!

Our latest Cutie Pie!

This precious little girl arrived very tired, and very hungry, early on Friday morning. She is now settling into the Unit, so she is ready for her Clubfoot treatment. She devoured her bottle, never once taking her eyes off the Carer, and was eager for some more! It wasn’t long before she was all tucked up, sound asleep, all warm and cosy in her crib.

Rylie turns 6!

Rylie was Princess for the day on Friday as she celebrated her 6th birthday. She fell head over heels for her Barbie princess doll, which she toted around for the rest of the day!



As well as the Barbie, she was over the moon with her fluffy dog handbag, hair ties and a beautiful Strawberry Shortcake blanket for her bed.

The end is in sight!

Timothy had tenotomy's today. He now has a break from casting for a few weeks, while we wait for them to heal.

Next, he'll go into the bracing phase which will last for 3 months, before going into foster care.

Christmas Baby!

This little darling was born with Clubfoot on Christmas Day. She will receive a belated but wonderful gift; her feet well corrected and she will have the chance of a life without this disability.

She arrived at our Unit today, after a long 12 hour trip. It wasn't long before she was bathed, in clean clothes, and had a full tummy. For now, we'll focus on getting her into a good routine and getting her well - she has a chest infection - then we'll start her treatment.

However, she does need sponsors to help her. If you are interested in sponsoring her, please go to the Contact Us link on the Front page of our Website.

Look at me now!

Casting is over for Zac, he's now in his brace - hooray! This little guy has had more hurdles than normal to overcome, and we think he's a little champ.
We've posted a before and after shot, so you can see just how much his life has changed for the better. It's not just his feet that have been treated, but his hands as well!

Nearly there!

Benjamin is in his last cast, after having his tenotomy on Friday. It won't be long before he's out of it and into his brace.
