Hello Family, friends and all the other wonderful people who get to read this

 

After a hectic and very challenging year 2013 this years was much better. Celina has progressed nicely with all the therapies, school education, and love she has received.

Thanks to all the people helping us in many different ways we were able to keep up her diet and get her off almost all medication. She hasn’t been constipated the whole year and also had no lung infections. She has been only once in hospital over a weekend with 2 styes on her eye but otherwise has been very well. She had 2 pre molars  removed which were standing in second row and that also has brought relieve to her mouth and helped to improve her eating and drinking. We hope that in about 2 weeks time we will also say good bye to the NG tube again. So all in all a good year.

 

The only downside is that Clint has lost his job and with that we do not have a medical aid anymore. Yet the medical aid has still blessed us with the money for her new wonderful wheelchair.

At the moment Celina is going without any therapies besides what I can manage to do. Furthermore the work on her mouth is not finished yet. After having a palate plate for a couple of month her mouth is better already. Braces need to be done and without a medical aid this will cost us R 24 000. Then at a later stage she will still need surgery to lift her upper jaw to have her mouth close fully again.

 

Besides all that:

Our never ending costs for Celina will carry into the new year and she is getting heavy which means we will need to employ someone to help with certain things. Not forgetting the daily costs of supplements, special foods, nappies, wet wipes and more. It would be also nice to have at least some of the therapies, to get input on how to go on at home. And since Celina is turning 13 in December Red Cross Children Hospital is also not taking her on anymore. To have at least a hospital plan for her we need a monthly R 2000.

Our  funds have almost dried up and we need to keep her diet up to have another good year.

On this blog on the right top you will also find a list of goodies we need for her on a weekly base.  

If you are able to assist us in any way please feel free to contact us and if you would like to bless us financially the bank details are below.

Thank you to everybody who supported us this year in so many ways and we thank all the amazing people who continually keep us in their prayers.

 

We wish you all a peaceful and happy Christmas with your loved ones as we remember the real reason for the season, the birth of Jesus.

Love and Blessings to all.

Clint, Manuela and Celina
