Rory Gallaghers wish to walk
This is our little cerebral palsy warrior Rory.
He's 8 years old and has a wish to walk
Rory was born 8 weeks prematurely , he spent the 1st eight weeks of his life in the neonatal intensive care unit, it was hour by hour with him, he fought very hard and never gave up and to this day he's still fighting . Rory loves boxing as is so proud to be the littlest fighter at MTK Global, he's got one smashing right jab!
Rory will require care for life & his needs are vast but we feel so blessed to have him here with us, everyday with Rory is a blessing.
Rory is requiring double hip surgeries at a cost of 121,334 he will travel to Boston Children's hospital when he is strong enough and undergo Femoral Osteotomy, this surgery has to be carried out on both of his thigh bones. He also requires a pelvic ( hip ) Pemberton fosteotomy surgery on both hips. Rory is currently attending a neurological rehabilitation center in France which is costing us just over €3,500 per month. Rory is only a few weeks in and already we are seeing massive improvements. Rory will continue to attend the center right up to his surgeries so as to help him prepare for his surgeries. Immediately Post op Rory will require a minimum of 2/3 of continuous intensive rehabilitation if he is to succeed with his wish to walk.
Like any parents, all we want is the best for our child. We hope that Rory will have the ability to live an independent life, hopefully we will see him able to care for himself to a certain level. We are putting in as much time and effort as we can now so that hopefully when Rory is a young adult he will be able to do the simple things in life that we take for granted like getting himself around the house , dressing, showering, getting himself in & out of bed etc...
While its been a difficult journey at times, overall for us as a family its been a journey filled with love and Joy! Its also a very exciting journey as we are seeing 1st hand just what Rory is capable of and we get to enjoy all of Rory's success and give him all the love and attention which he so greatly deserves as he truly is the sunshine in our family.
From the bottom of your hearts we wish to say a massive thank you to everyone that is supporting our little boy with his wish to walk and on his journey of life with cerebral palsy.
Sending you all lots of ❤️ from Shauna , Gerry , Lily , Kyle & especially wee Rory xx
