Sophia

Updated: 16 April 2007

This is the story of a brave little girl who has Arthogryposis told by her Mum:

Sophia is my little Daughter, who is now 16 months old. She is an absolute Joy, really a very special little girl. Here is her story so far, relating to her orthopaedic problems and her arthrogryposis. When I was 21 weeks pregnant I had a 3-D Scan, it was then I found out I was having a little girl, and also the Doctor scanning me could see that her feet appeared to be turned in. I did my best to try not to worry too much about her feet, what will be will be, and they can do so much now medically, I thought , we’ll fix them when she gets here. full story...

Updated: 16 May 2007

This is the story of Emmett Daly who has Arthogryposis:

My name is Emmett Daly, I’m 22 yrs old and from Kilcormac.
I have a disability called Arthrogryposis which affects my joints and general movement. I was born with my legs over my shoulders “which may not have been to pleasant for my ma” as she described me as been in the shape of a football. I’ve had many operations of which some has been a great success and some have been a waste of time, I have had operations on my feet and knees but never the less I’m here to tell the tail. I’m confined to a wheelchair so it has just come part of my everyday life to me. full story...
