After being born prematurely at 26 weeks, 4-year-old Roy suffered from a bacterial infection that led to sepsis, temporarily resulting in a brain injury. He then spent his days between home and the hospital during that difficult time. The brain lesion caused muscle hypertonia, limiting his growth and mobility, and requiring a customized wheelchair to get around. At the age of one, Roy started his learning journey at Eden's daycare program.
With continuous training and guidance from his teachers, Roy can now understand some common commands, such as: it's time to eat, drink water, take out your hand, etc. Although he is still not able to speak, he loves to make sounds and interact with others and has his ideas. Although he still has no verbal ability, he loves to make sounds, interact with others, and has his own ideas. His progress and growth on the road to early childhood intervention care has touched his parents and they have shared their daily parenting routines on social media platforms, which has become the strongest support for many slow-flying families.
For children facing difficulties in growing up, growing up is not a 100-meter race to see who can run faster. It is a long marathon for them, and they must be persistent and steady in every step. They need to practice and learn to break through the test of growth.
Eden thank you for your donation that help bring hope to children with developmental delays and their families.
