Meet our October Kid of the Month



Meet Whitney, a happy 7 year old with bright blue eyes and red hair.  Whitney has a smile that will light up a room.  She uses it as her main form of communication.  Whitney is in first grade and LOVES school.  She is very social and prefers to be around other kids.  She has two older brothers who take good care of her and love her deeply.

Whitney has been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy.  She suffered an anoxic brain injury at birth due to complications from her mother having an Amniotic Fluid Embolism.  Both Whitney and her mother were lucky to survive!  Whitney has spastic quad CP.  She has a baclofen pump for spasticity, is 100% G-Tube fed,  wheelchair bound, uses a stander, DAFO's, and scoliosis brace.

Whitney loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins, and Sofia the First.  She also loves Tinkerbell movies.  She loves to watch the leaves blowing in the breeze and having other kids play with and around her.  She is a very brave girl and rarely complains.  She loves to snuggle and be held.  She spreads joy wherever she goes.
