Our little angel has clacc c Pffd

Hi everybody,
I am the mother of a 1 1/2 year old girl with pffd. She is our first born and the apple of our eye and at times it really pains me to see her the way she is. She has pffd class C in her right leg but this does'nt stop her from being a naughty little girl. She is a really cute girl and people are attracted to her whereever she goes and they cuddle her. Iknow that the road ahead will not be easy for her and at times i really don't know what to do. My husband and immediate family are all very supportive.
Recently we have got made an extension prosthesis for her, and it has been a month but she still cannot stand without support. She just sits with it and gets cranky if we try and make her stand for too long............i am getting pretty worried and restless. Plz if any of you can let me know of your personal experiences it would be really helpful. i will keep u all updated.

Finding Nemo

Hello everyone. Not sure how many of you here have seen Finding Nemo but I just saw it for the first time and I think it is such a great movie for our kids to watch. Nemo was born with a smaller fin, he calls it his "lucky fin" and the movie shows how he can do everything he wants to even with the short fin. It also shows us parents how to let go and trust that our precious little angels can do anything and everything they want. I think it is a great movie to watch with your children. Just thought I would share.

Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund

I have a bit of good news for those of us living in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund (KADMF) [[http://www.kadmf.org/]] provides advocacy, education, information and financial assistance for the uninsured needs of families caring for terminally, critically and chronically ill, seriously disabled or severely injured children. The child must be a resident of Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Delaware, though may be receiving treatment in another state. The Fund helps both low income and middle income families.
