OMG! 13-months-old goes shopping in a Bumbo wheelchair! :-)

Evelyn Moore who was just four-months-old when doctors noticed a lump protruding from her spine, has proved categorically that, nothing can stop her!   

Thanks to her parents..:-)

Mr and Mrs Moore wanted their daughter, who is now 13-month-old to have the freedom that any other toddler would have, so they decided to build her very own wheelchair, which is made from a kitchen cutting board, a Bumbo chair and tiny wheels from a children's bike, cost around $100 to make! 

Proud parents..:-D.

The Canadian-couple said their baby was just four months, doctors noticed a lump protruding from her spine that was later diagnosed as a stage four neuroblastoma tumour.

The little girl went through eight rounds of chemotherapy to treat the tumour but after hearing that she was in remission, her parents Kim and Brad received heartbreaking news.

Evelyn's tumour had crushed her spine at T4, leaving her paralysed below her arms..:-(

''I was on Pinterest and I found a really cool wheelchair, Mrs Moore told the Canadian Press. 

I showed it to my husband and asked him if he could build it and we went to Canadian Tire and just grabbed a whole bunch of pieces.'

Evelyn started using her wheelchair at seven months and has been zipping around in it ever since, she added.

Mrs Moore said people are 'shocked and happy' to see Evelyn and that she treats her daughter like any other one-year-old.

Evelyn wheels behind me wherever we go - even if it means regular activities like shopping take a little longer. 

Evelyn is now learning to use a ZipZac, a manufactured version of her own wheelchair.
  
My husband is proud of his little girl and wants her to know that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. 


Mrs Moore said Evelyn absolutely loves it.

'She went backwards first, then she went forwards, then she figured out how to turn and we now have a speed bump in the middle of our living room because she just goes that fast,' Mrs Moore said, adding that they have been as positive as they can.

Awww, I'm so emotional right now! 

'You go home and you cry and you come back the next day and you be the strongest mum and dad you can ever be because you have no other option', She added.

Now, You that I consider a loyal reader of my blog, might be saying: ''Does this teach us how to work healthy, eat healthily and live healthy? 

Frankly speaking, It does not!

Actually, looking at it from a different angle, this story of how Evelyn Moore zips around in a DIY wheelchair out of a Bumbo chair can Inspire You to lose 350 pounds and encourages others to 'never give up! :-D


Yes, You can! I believe in You..:-)


If baby Evelyn can do it, You can also! So, stop doubting and start believing -in Yourself, of course! #wink.

'There's a dizzying number of health blogs out there, all tempting us to procrastinate at work. But it's hard to know which sites are truly trustworthy, entertaining, informative, and Tweetable'' "The only thing she has not taken is my boxers and pants", Adesola said, almost bursting into tears! :-( Adesola, a good looking guy, has a friend... A female one to be precise. They are so fond of one another and it wasn't long before Adesola starts to develop feelings for his beautiful friend...:-) Although she is beautiful, Adesola, however, claims the girl usually take his things without his consent. He stated that; the girl will reach for his pulse and take money without informing him of her actions. Adesola is now in a state of dilemma. He doesn't know whether to address the girl as a thief/gold-digger or even confess his love to her. His love for this girl has left him confused. He needs help!  Dear bestie, are you confused? ...confused like Adeso...

Don't be like NSG! Avoid these FIVE FOODS at the supermarket!

NSG headed to the supermarket... After working her butts off throughout the day, She headed to the roadside to buy her regular dinner of chicken and chips -the ajekpako version of C&C...  i.e aboki fried yam & chicken which cost roughly N300 -(Chicken N200, yam N100).  NSG starts to crave... As soon as she got into the supermarket, she noticed an ajebota family (The man, his little daughter, and his wife) pulling a cart of groceries and licking a stick sweet while they shopped. The sweet looked really tempting and I started craving for one. She picked the coke from the fridge and went to the counter to pay when she saw her new favorite gum, the N50 trident!  NSG gets tempted... Close to where the Trident lay, she saw different colours of the sweet the ajebota family were licking and since she has never paid more than N30 for a sweet, she decided to add one to her cart containing the coke and gum and gave the counter lady her N500. The counter-lady packaged her stu...
