Eliza has a high level of medical and developmental needs. She receives physiotherapy, uses a feeding tube but is being slowly introduced to foods orally and takes medication for her seizures. Her seizures currently affect her sleep pattern but it is hoped that with change is her medication that this could be stabilized.

Eliza had a preference to look to her left but with regular use of her standing frame, her neck is much stronger and she is more able to hold her head straight. There are concerns about her vision, but the extent of her visual impairment is not known. Her foster carer has noticed that her vision seems to be improving and she has been observed to track light.

Eliza will be attending the Stephen Hawking Special School for two days a week from January 2012.

Eliza’s foster carer has embraced caring for Eliza and gives her a lot of one to one interaction and as a result of this, Eliza has made a lot of improvements due to this level of stimulation. Her carer describes Eliza as delightful and a very determined child who gives a lot back.

Dylan has formed a strong attachment with his foster carer and will seek out her comfort when he is upset or in unfamiliar situations. Dylan can be shy and will cover his eyes and will put his fingers in his ears, with reassurance he quickly overcomes his shyness.

Dylan is starting to use his first words and is developing his personality. He enjoys socialising with other children but has a tendency to be rough and will need firm boundaries. Health professionals are confident he is meeting all his developmental milestones.

Dylan enjoys eating and is not fussy but he will eat continuously and so his food intake will need to be monitored. Dylan rarely has a nap during the day and sleeps well through the night for 12 hours.

He enjoys playing outside with his ball and loves to get into mischief either hiding behind the shed or playing with the water in the bird bath. Dylan’s foster carer says he has so much to offer and his cheeky grin always makes her smile.
