There is something very special about the bond bet

There is something very special about the bond between children & animals 🥰🐴🐔🐷🐰

Since the beginning of this summer, we have been visiting the Bricher Paerdsstall every month with groups of children who are directly or indirectly affected by a rare disease.

The main objective of these workshops is to allow the children to get to know each other and share experiences in a protected environment. In addition, topics such as the regulation of emotions, relaxation and the activation of the sensorimotor system are covered during the workshops.

We are tremendously grateful to Monique Mazzone Bausch and her team for the great collaboration in organising these wonderful workshops.

We also want to thank @sophiemarguephotography , the talented photographer that captured these precious moments on camera for us !

“My name is Elisabeth, and I am a mom of 6 child

“My name is Elisabeth, and I am a mom of 6 children. My youngest, Amy, is 6 and has a rare genetic disease related to a gene called SCN2A.

Amy’s birth was normal - everything went well. But what started afterwards was completely unexpected and very hard. Amy was unable to drink. I immediately felt that something was wrong. It was a difficult time for us because we didn't know what was going on with her at that point.

Amy developed very slowly in the first few months. At 8 months old, she couldn't sit, nor crawl. She was just stiff. The paediatrician noticed that Amy needed support from the Service de Rééducation précoce. Amy started receiving kinesiotherapy and ergotherapy, which brought some improvements. At 14 months old, Amy was able to keep her balance and at 17 months she was able to sit. Then, she learned to crawl at the age of 20 months. We thought we made it. But, no, things got worse from there.

Amy started to have seizures when she was 20 months old and had to go to the hospital. The treating paediatric neurologist had a suspicion what caused Amy's delay and we decide to do a genetic test. The diagnosis: a rare genetic mutation. Part of the chromosome is missing. It is accompanied by developmental & speech delays, symptoms of autism and epilepsy. At that moment our world collapsed. Thousands of questions went through my mind, and I felt profound sadness.

But, from then on, we knew how to deal with the situation. Our everyday life changed overnight. We had to do a lot of therapies with Amy. At 28 months, Amy was able to walk on her own. Every little improvement was a gift to us. Amy's development is very slow in many areas. Amy can't speak. But she communicates through sounds and gestures. Everyday life with Amy is difficult, but every moment with her is just beautiful.

We have been through a lot, and we still have a long way to go. But we have hope and will not give up. We learned to accept the situation. Amy has been going to school for 3 years and it’s wonderful to see how she blossoms and is accepted by the other children. We are grateful for every bit of progress, and, with a lot of strength and love, we stick together as a family.”

This year our Family Day took us up north to the @robbesscheier where we fed the farm animals, enjoyed a horse carriage ride, baked delicious pastries and shared a wonderful meal and memories.
