A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I have complex health needs which are a diagnosis of hemimengalencephaly with right sided facial hypertrophy, macrocephaly and ventriculomegaly. I used to have many seizures but this is now under control following an operation. I am fully dependent on my mum for every aspect of my life and this will always be the case.

I am orally fed puree foods and my milk and meds via an NG tube. I sit in a specialist seat to support my posture.
