Meet Lovely!
Meet 4-year-old Lovely! Lovely was diagnosed in utero with spina bifida, and she was born prematurely at only 24 weeks old! She spent almost 150 days in the NICU. She cannot walk unassisted, but can stand for about a minute on her own. She currently uses a walker and wears AFOs to correct her feet.
Despite Lovely’s trials, she remains a smart, silly, and sassy little girl! Just like the Disney princesses Lovely adores, her namesake defines her personality. Lovely also enjoys being outdoors, playing on swings and going down the slides. She will be entering Kindergarten in the fall and is very excited to go to school. Lovely welcomes each new day with charisma and a smile!
Lovely received a therapy trike which will help provide her with not only a fun source of exercise, but also a great activity to help strengthen her muscles. Special thanks to the Longhorn Detachment Marine Corps League for sponsoring her new trike. Lovely was presented with her trike at the annual golf tournament
