terribly abused. Not sexual but more locked in a cage and not given much to eat. She was 7 years old but was 3-4 years old in body development, very malnourished, etc . She sat so long in one position her legs grew into her but. She could not stand up or talk. When they brought her in and put her in the PICU they had to be careful her food, etc. She would watch Spongebob. They gave her toys and she would pull everything very close so afraid to lose them. Very sad situation. They worked with her and she had a number of operations to get her legs fixed. After two months they moved her to a rehab unit. By six months she had gained weight, looked her age, was rolling around the rehab unit on a manual scooter and walking normally. She was very happy and rebounded quite well. At six months she left the Children's Hospital I think to be adopted or put in foster care. It was fantastic to see just how much she had recovered after six months. Makes you smile to see these sick kids recover and move on to normal lives!!!!
