Baby Evie Needs A Professional Carer

30/4/2012

Evelyn was born in January 2012 with the umbilical cord wrapped twice around her neck causing suffocation and trauma. This subsequently led to many other complications and Evie was soon diagnosed with severe brain damage, Cerebral Palsy and a movement disorder, as well as Retinoblastoma (cancer) in both eyes for which her tiny body had to undergo six sessions of chemotherapy in the hope of shrinking the tumours. Learning basic life skills including the simple concept of controlled movement will be a huge challenge for Evie and she will continue to require high levels of specialist support for the future. Now that Evie is home, mum, Aimey, is caring for Evie full time, which is no easy task considering that Evie needs such high levels of care and spends most of the day and night crying. Aimey is in desperate need of a Respite Carer to help to look after Evie so we are now fundraising to provide a carer for several days and two nights per week. This will give Aimey a little time to rest each week enabling her to give Evie the extensive care and attention that she constantly needs for the rest of the time.
