Fashintern- the year has gone so quickly Quick recap Zi’Joy stayed in the hospital for 19 days almost the entire month of January. Feb March OT & PT 3 x a week 3 hours each session The go fund me went really well I was out technically from Jan until the beginning of July inbetween the pandemic hit riots you know the usual for 2020. Zi’Joy was diagnosed with a rare spinal injury called AFM Acute Flaccid Myelitis she is literally one of 900 children in the world. That 1 in 2,000,000
With she walks and runs with aid AFOs ankle and foot orthotics . A whole year has gone by she returned to her learning center in July where her thearpy session continue. We continue to see strides and although this will continue to affect her the rest of her life she will learn how to be self sufficient. Her body has been weekend and what many don’t see is the hard falls she continues to take.
We also do yoga via zoom and water thearpy on the weekends. Zi just finished for the year. In between all of that she has had a birthday appeared on the Dr Oz Health show become a spokesperson for and raised awareness in the Single neurological Rare Association.
She has helped to sponsor children l who are facing medical challenges like her to receive a tiny superhero cape to encourage them and to let them know they are warriors.
So while it may seem quick to you it is just the beginning of a lifetime for us.
