Ryuki with Osteogenesis Imperfecta

Ryuki, our fourth son, was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta more likely type 3 or 4 (also known as brittle bone disease).

He is now 22 months old and has had 7 fractures so far (including one before birth). He is extremely fragile and needs to be surrounded by soft surface to prevent fractures. He just started to roll over and is trying to crawl.

He had osteotomy in August to straighten his femurs and insert pins to make bones stronger. However, doctors can not guarantee Ryuki will be strong enough to stand up and walk. We are getting ready for his wheelchair so he can mobilise and explore by himself.

Now we need to modify our house for Ryuki to use wheelchair, crawl and hopefully (fingers crossed!) walk in the house safely in the future. To do this, we need your help!
