Fun Fact about Louie: Louie's name means warrior, and his middle name 'Oscar' means strong.

Louie was born prematurely at 28 weeks in June 2018, and he weighed just 608grams. His start to life was very difficult and when he was 4 weeks old, a routine brain scan showed a Grade 2 bleed along with another brain injury known as periventricular leukomalacia (PYL). As a result, Louie was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at around 2 years old. His cerebral palsy affects all aspects of his daily life, and whilst it slows him down, it definitely doesn't stop him! With lots of therapy and the right equipment, we are trying to ensure Louie leads an inclusive and, more importantly, happy life. He loves attention, interaction and feeling like all the other boys and girls. He is the smiliest, most determined little boy and is already achieving above and beyond what we once thought possible.
