    Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about Avery’s prognosis. I’m more of a realist myself, so I imagine I would feel similar to you. In terms of having a positive outlook, you do focus on what she has, e.g. a loving, supportive extended family and a devoted immediate family. She has access to different kinds of experiences, e.g. at Little Harbor and preschool/nursery. That’s a realistic way to be positive. I think that’s important because people are often most upset when their high expectations aren’t met. Hope you had a lovely time with your family! 😁

    • @mummyandavery
      @mummyandavery  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think it’s so easy to get caught up in unrealised hopes because you hear of so many miracles, but I think if I wasn’t realistic I would push Avery too hard, that wouldn’t make her happy and that’s all I want for her xx

    Avery will have a lovely life because she’s part of a loving and caring family. I hope that when she starts nursery you’ll see the benefits that it will bring such as widening her environment and giving her more learning opportunities. I’m glad that you’re being realistic; it’s one of the hardest things to do but yes, be hopeful too. If I were you I’d be very proud of the achievements that Avery has already made as that is all due to your good parenting. ❤❤

    I work with children’s physiotherapists (in admin) and I have seen children with CP improve so much with pt, Avery is such a lucky girl to have you and Josh as her parents, you are such loving, caring parents. Please let me know if there is anything you would like me to ask the physios. One of our senior physios has left the nhs and has now opened up a hippotherapy stables, she offers holidays for families so they can all have a break away. Please let me know if you would be interested any time in the future xx

      @@mummyandavery yes, it’s near Hereford. It’s physiotherapy on ponies, I just took the following from google “Hippotherapy is a physical, occupational, and speech therapy that utilizes the natural gait and movement of a horse to provide motor, and sensory input. It is based on improvement of neurologic functions, and sensory processes, and used for patients with physical, and mental disorders”. The children love it and do really well. Unfortunately with the NHS the way it is it is very difficult to offer all the physio a child needs 😞

    Your point of view.. is on point! Knowledge, acceptance and also hope is key. And the thing you want the most for her, her being happy you know you've always made sure of that! She is SO loved, she has a great family and an AMAZING mom! A mom who even though her pain is unbearable never gives up but goes above and beyond. Indeed, this reality may be sad but you know something? In a way she IS a miracle child, she survived the unthinkable, she's thriving and she IS happy. ~ Lots of love!!!

    Hi - your sons are so wonderful and learning so much from you. When my sons were little I used to bake and decorate so I taught them to do it as well. Then I was blessed with twin grandsons and was lucky enough to work remotely so I taught them baking, cooking and decorating skills. Now the twins are grown and visit often as they live close. I love getting a message asking if they may come over and do some baking FOR me. I’m always available and we have a lovely time. Most of the baked goods go home with them or to their friends.
    Loved your older son whistling. Hopefully he will continue and start whistling along with songs. You are truly a lovely person and fantastic mother.

Avery is so clever as she may not be able to voice it but she was clearly trying to tell you something important and that was amazing to hear her talking away and hearing her wee voice. It just shows with all your kids even the boys and how well behaved they are and the manners on them that you and Josh are absolutely amazing parents and should be proud of all the kids as they are an absolute credit to yous, best kids in town.

    Will she miss a skill she has never had? A pastor and I were discussed the morality of raising children in the hospital in strict isolation. Many are born or lose their intestines shortly after birth. They never participate in activities becuz of complex infections. He asked me if the child minded not going to activities, or was I upset becuz that’s what childhood is to me. I didn’t think so, but it was helpful to think thru that point. Sorry if this upsets you in any way. Not meant to. Hugs. You are a great mom.

    I gotta disagree with Averys Physiotherapist... IF she was right we would've have physical therapy at all... physical therapy is a HUGE component of correcting issues... DON'T stop what ur doing... even IF ur delaying the inevitable, physical therapy may lessen the outcome. Avery's leg can be manipulated to a degree and that goal is worth EVERYTHING ur doing. I just find it difficult to take what she said as a fact... if Physiotherapy isn't going to help then why does she even see Avery... u know what I mean? ❤
    Ur an ahhhmazing Mom and I would find a different PT that has the same goals in mind as you and Josh!!! ❤❤❤
    PS- I am not criticizing you at all. Ur truly such an ahhhmazing Mum. Absolute perfection

      Thank you ❤️ I’m never going to stop being hopeful. I think I just need to be realistic so I’m not always ripping myself apart when averys not meeting milestones despite what we’re doing. But there are so many children that improve, fingers crossed Avery will be one of them ❤️

    Hi there I just want to let you know that your doing an amazing job with Avery. I totally get it that your frustrated to make sure she is happy. I will totally with you that in the long wrong being happy for me is more important then not being totally independent. Like I’ve said in other videos I’m a very high level spinal cord injury and I’m pretty much total care have to have 24 hour care due to the level of injury and being ventilator dependent 24 7. I’m able to get around on my own thanks to technology and using a sip n puff system to operate my chair. So for myself I totally get what your saying and also agree with you one hundred percent. You and your husband just continue to be the amazing parents that you are to all your kids. You got this

    I I know what you mean about believing, I have cancer, I would love to believe, but I don’t. If grid existed why would I have cancer? Why would Avery have CP. Trust in science. You are a marvelous mum and are doing the utmost for Avery. As much as I can, I try to understand how you feel. Best wishes

    • @mummyandavery
      @mummyandavery  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you, I like to think I do have faith, but I also like to be realistic and trust the facts and experience so far. Averys future is unknown but I think we’re far enough into her journey now where we can make assumptions xx

      To say that god doesn’t exist because someone has cancer,etc.? That’s just wrong. God didn’t give us a perfect world. Everyone has their struggles.god is not a mean person. He didn’t give someone cancer or a disability as punishment or anything.

    Just remember they are only numbers, whos to say that Avery in her own way and time could do them. She was sure telling us a story while you shared the update on her.
    No matter what, Avery is a very loved and wanted child and she knows it.
    Praying that nothing comes of Zachs tests.
    Those boys are in constant competitiveness. I could just see them doing really well at selling the apples.

    • @mummyandavery

    ❤ Hi, chrissy, it seems like avery is vocalizing on que. She may not be able to verbalize it. But she knows you're talking about her. So like her physical therapist said she is in fact very aware.
    In the u s, Gaiters are braces. As far as her communication, You may want to do the research on a a computerized voice. I understand that this might be a couple years down the road.

    • @mummyandavery
      @mummyandavery  ปีที่แล้ว

      She makes sounds back to us when we copy her as well, I just wish i could read her mind. Yes I’ve seen eyegaze software work wonders too. Avery is still a little young but we will find a way to communicate with her one day xx

    • @denicelittle325
      @denicelittle325 ปีที่แล้ว

      Avery is one very strong and smart young lady, she gets that from her Mum.. you are both fighters, my heart and prayers are going out for you. You got a hard diagnosis and a hefty dose of reality. You can see in past videos how she folllows you and her brothers and smiles, her eyes light up. The video of her laughing while Josh was chasing you around the table was priceless. Keep pushing on and fighting for your baby’s health and happiness.. Prayers for all of you. ❤❤

    Dear Mummy, there are Millions of children missing out love in this World and I personally think this is the Main Thing destroying quality of life. Avery is soooooooo incredibly loved and she knows that and thats more than anything else in this world. ❤

    Avery chatting with you at the end is adorable. She seems to be really trying to tell you how she feels and her experience. Even through watching your videos I can see Avery progressing, it’s slower than ‘normal’ but she definitely seems to be learning how to do the things she wants in her own adapted way. Hope you are all ok and the boys are doing ok back at school. ❤

    I’m a realist too and I think you are right on with preparing yourself for the inevitable but continue to have hope for advancement in medicine and /or a miracle. Nothing wrong with that. What is wrong is your dislike of delicious apple pie 😬😁 ( coming from an American- we love apple pie! You know the saying “ as American as apple pie!!🤣). JUST KIDDING about the apple pie thing!! Hope your dad got to enjoy it. How did it turn out?
