Thanks to Megan Wilson at the New Zealand Herald for publishing this story to celebrate Elyses 10 year milestone
Elyse has recently undergone what we hope will be her final surgery — a significant procedure to straighten and lengthen her left leg, as well as correct both feet.
The year ahead will focus on rebuilding strength through rehabilitation, with the goal of getting Elyse safely back into her standing frame and walker — milestones that support both her independence and quality of life.
An MRI is booked for February, and in true Elyse spirit, she is already counting down the days until she can return to school and be reunited with her friends. After a lovely Christmas, she has been keeping busy at home, lending a hand in the kitchen with Mum while she continues to recover.
Thank you, as always, for walking alongside Elyse and our family. Your support means more than words can express as we step into another year of hope and progress together.
