Story written 2006

Mollie was diagnosed with Foetal Warfarin Syndrome and Kyphoscoliosis on my 20 week scan, we were unsure of what to expect. 

When Mollie was born she had numerous tests, we were told that she also had Dextrocardia and that one of her lungs wasn't formed properly, she was also profoundly deaf in her left ear. 

It wasn't working as well as they thought it would with Mollie wearing her spinal brace, so at a month old Mollie had to have her first operation as she was unable to sit. It was really hard because she was so young and it wasn't long before Christmas. Mollie came out of hospital 1 week before Christmas but was rushed back in on Christmas day with pneumonia, it was her first Christmas. 

When Mollie had an MRI scan we found out that she has Chiari Malformation as well. Mollie had another operation in February of this year, so we are hoping things are going to be a lot better as she gets tired very quickly at the moment.

Update 14th May 2008

Thank you to everyone who has sent Mollie a card this month.

Mollie is practicing for her show, so she has had a lot of leg cramps these last few weeks. She has also got to go for another x-ray on her spine because she has been getting a lot of backache lately.

Update 16th April 2008

Mollie has been having a few sleepless nights this month due to pains in her legs as she has been practicing for her show in May, but she will not give up as she is really looking forward to it.

Thank you for the letters and cards that Mollie and her siblings have received, they are very much appreciated.

Update 11th February 2008

Mollie is due at Sheffield on 14/02/08 to check that her spinal fusion operation was successful.

Post Pals is brilliant and I look forward to all the post that I receive. Thank you!

Update 17th December 2007

I went for a hearing test this month and nothing has changed. I am still deaf in my left ear, but my right hasn't got any worse.

Thank you for all my post this month.

Update 30th October 2007

I am still enjoying my swimming lessons even though I was upset last week because everyone in my group had moved up to the next level, including Morgan my brother, but my mum says that everyone is different and that I will do it in my own time and not to worry. I go to the hospital next month to the scoliosis clinic and also to see the neurosurgeon so hopefully everything will be ok.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent me something this month.

Update 1st October 2007

Mollie’s doing fine; we have just had her hospital appointment to see the Neurosurgeon postponed to next month and also a new appointment to the Scoliosis clinic come through, so hopefully everything will be ok.

Thank you to everyone who has sent Mollie a card, letter, email or gift this month, she has enjoyed every one of them and even took them to school for show and tell.

Mollie still loves Barbie, Bratz, reading, colouring, playing with her dolls (she’s even given her order for a new Baby Alive for Christmas already) and basically anything girlie.

Update 7th September 2007

We’ve just come back from our holidays. Molly had a great time but is very tired with bad headaches. She is still not sleeping very well and has started with nightmares quite a bit, but hopefully they will pass.

Thank you to everyone for all the post this month.

Update 14th August 2007

I have been having a few bad headaches over the holidays so I have got to go and see the consultant (not looking forward to that). Mum is worried because they have been ‘knocking me off my feet’ as mum says and I have been in bed for days at a time.

Thank you to everybody who has taken the time to send me a card, write me a letter or send me a gift. I have loved every one of them.

Update 18th July 2007

I am getting on really well and I had my first sports day last week and I really enjoyed it.

I would like to say thank you to every one at Post Pals, it is lovely what you do and if only you could see the smile on my face and all the other children’s faces every time we get post. All cards, letters and gifts are very much appreciated and loved.

Update 10th June 2007

Thank you to everyone who has sent me cards, letters and wonderful gifts this month.

Update 21st May 2007

Nothing has really happened this month apart from I’ve had a cold and now I have passed it on to my mum and dad (I like to share!)

I would like to thank everyone that has sent me a letter, card or gift as it is very much appreciated.

Update 3rd April 2007

We have finally heard about the lump on my throat. Luckily, it was just a cyst and I won't need an operation on it unless it gets bigger. Apart from that everything is ok.

Post Pals really cheers me up every time I get a letter or card or even a present and I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has sent me post, including birthday cards and gifts.

Update 3rd March 2007

I have got to go and have a biopsy on a lump on my throat (I am not looking forward to this).

I would like to say how much I look forward to the letters and cards I receive and how much they cheer me up. Thank you for all the stickers and bobbles that I have received, I have had great pleasure in using these. I would like to thank everyone for my all my post, it was very much appreciated.

Update 9th January 2007

A lump has been found on Mollie’s neck so she has been referred to the hospital for tests to find out what it is, hopefully it won't be anything serious but we will let you know. She has also been put on a different type of milk as she has lost some more weight.

We’d just like to say thank you to everyone at Post Pals for their wonderful presents and cards which made Mollie’s Christmas so special. It was lovely to read all the messages that you sent and Mollie wrote thank you notes so you should receive them shortly. Also a big thank you to everyone who sent presents to Mollie’s brothers, especially Georgies Fund who sent them wonderful presents. Thank you very much!

Update 1st December 2006

As Mollie as only been on Post Pals for about a week we are new to this. We were surprised how quickly she got a Christmas card though and would like to say a big thank you to Kate Dickinson as she was really pleased that she got the first card in the house, and I mean really pleased!

Mollie is really looking forward to her school Christmas parties as she has missed the last 2 due to hospital appointment and being ill.

Mollie just loves playing with her dolls (and has already given Santa her new list of dolls she wants this year, there’s only 6!) She loves colouring and at the moment we are making snowflakes to put around the house. She also loves writing and reading and was really pleased yesterday because she had gone up to level 9 in her reading books. She loves ballet and everything girly basically!
