Yesterday we visited Grace’s big sister Anita at the cemetery. Yesterday marked 6 years since the passing of Anita at 6 years old, who would be 12.
Grace has recently come off a medication that was making her seizures worse, which started making her have new different seizures. Her seizures have reduced, but are still there.
Grace spent a long weekend up North, visiting some family members she has never met.
We visited Kai Iwi Lakes and a few other places.
Graces big brother enjoyed swimming at the lake.
Currently Grace has an infection, which waiting for it to get better, before planning any other trips.
She is also allergic to mosquitoes and sandflies, which gives her blisters, even making sure she covered up with antiseptic stickers, sprays etc. So this has made things difficult and keeping the outdoor trips short to prevent this.
Unfortunately Grace might be starting to lose her vision and she has been referred to blind low vision.
We are devastated.
Grace got to meet and pat the baby lion cubs, since she loves her cats at home.
We thought she would love seeing some baby cubs and lions 🦁 she also got to see many other animals and a little cave with underwater view of some trout.
Grace enjoyed some of the lights, unfortunately we didn’t see all of the lights. As some of the pathways wasn’t suitable for her wheelchair, the small gravel paths made it difficult to push her.
We have a few things lined up, for our next few trips. See the lions and pat the baby cubs. Go up far north, to meet some family for first time.
Thank you everyone for the donations so far to help give Grace some amazing memories. We are looking at going to the TSB light festival in New Plymouth, which I’m sure Grace will love seeing all the beautiful light artwork.
I'm so happy 😊 you are doing well Grace ❤️ keep having lots of fun with your loving family x Love and blessings to you all for a wonderful 2025 🙏🙏❤️❤️ love & hugs Colleen x
