Noah is a happy two-year-old boy, diagnosed with Spastic (stiff limb) Dystonia Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He has damage to the Basal Ganglia, this part of the brain controls movement and coordination.
He can keep his head up for short periods of time and can leopard crawl, he is unable to sit up straight on his own due to his medical condition and low trunk control.
Noah’s movement is very jerky and he struggles to control movement, he can pick up objects and eat finger foods with his right arm.
Noah needs ongoing therapy on a weekly basis, he needs to see the Physiotherapist and OT once a week which makes it very difficult financially. Noah makes sounds but is still non-verbal.
To reduce Spasticity he needs to go for Botox in his legs. Together with Botox he is in need of a standing frame to strengthen his posture and trunk control. A gait trainer is also needed for him to start teaching him the ability to walk.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading Noah’s Story. We would greatly appreciate any amount of financial donations.
