Darragh suffers from Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. Whilst capable of holding himself up in a 'K-Walker', Darragh is effectively wheelchair bound since birth. His parents and older sister love him to bits. If you get a chance to meet Darragh you will be surprised how his good nature shines through his disability. The Latest News Darragh Ryan has moved closer to his dream of walking after undergoing his ground-breaking surgery in the Centro Medico Tecknon in Barcelona on 24th of November 2006 at 5pm. Darragh was returned later to his room in the clinic 3 hours later. Darragh underwent a form of keyhole surgery "Microtomia " which uses the latest techniques in microsurgery in which there are no visible scars left. There is far less recovery time as a result of this recent breakthrough. Darragh had bilateral surgery done on the Rectus Anterius (which is just above the knees) the Hamstrings and his Achilles Tendons . He is wearing a cast on both legs from his ankle to his knees and will do so for five weeks .He was offered a choice of two colours by Dr.Lluis Terricabras who performed the surgery, the yellow away strip of Barcelona instead he picked the Red of Munster! Dr.Terricabras insisted that constant Physiotherapy is essential for the next five weeks. There are no miracles as such, it might take weeks or months before we have a full idea how it went. There has been some progress already. He can sit up comfortable with his legs in front of him and balance himself, which he could never do before. His legs are more flexible also as the tightness has been reduced in his hamstrings. Darragh's dream of walking has captured the imagination of many people in Ireland.Darragh has made incredible progress since his surgery,he is using a treadmill ,sitting on the floor without keeling over,beginning to explore more ..beginning to stand more on his own..beginnig to walk when you hold his hand ,currently there is a major physio home based programme to strenghten the muscles around his trunk /hip area which are weak as he would have never used them 9 yrs previously. There were many benefit events held to help to raise the necessary funds for this operation. Hopefully this awareness will help other families. We would like to thank all of you sincerely. The Ryan Family. (Less)
