Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

My name is Megan and I will be 8 on August 2, 2012. I have Rett Syndrome which for me means that I don't have many words for talking, I am unable to use my hands very well, I am unable to walk and I have many medical conditions. 

Seizures started for me when I was 2 years old.  I have had alot of ambulance rides, emergency room visits and hospital stays because of them.  Currently the seizures are under control so I don't get to visit all the great nurses, EEG Techs and doctors much anymore.  In January 2011 I had to have back surgery to have growing rods placed because my Scoliosis progressed and was really bad.  I had many complications after the surgery and spent 24 days in the hospital when I was only scheduled to be there 8 days.  My body doesn't metabolize pain medication like it does for most people.  Every six months I have surgery to have the rods lengthened and I only have to stay overnight.

Despite all of that I am a very happy girl!! My family says that my eyes are my voice and my smile lights up the room.
