My gorgeous baby daughter was born on January 3rd 2008. On May 28th 2008 my world fell apart when we learnt our baby Georgia had SMA type 1. Anyone out there please advise me on how to live day to day not knowing what is going to happen. I also have a 3 1/2 year old who is very demanding. Georgia has deteriorated over the last few months dramatically and i'm so scared.

We are currently looking to replace our 7 year old daughter's powerchair and are interested in anyone's experiences of the reliability of the various models on the market . She needs a hieght adjustable chair and standing would be an advantage. Response times for call out's is also important. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Well what can I say, we have just got back from the mobility show and I have to say .... WOW! That was the best thing we have done since our daughter was diagnosed - there is so much equipment out there and so many different designs that you have to see it to believe it!

Now the dilemma is which powered wheelchair do we go for?!? Personally we like the Snapdragon as it goes right down to the floor and we think it might be good for her to be able to get in and out herself? but the Hippo looks good too!

- has anybody got any experience with either of these machines? Any advice would be great.

We've recently experienced a lot of problems with my daughter's powered chair, and are looking to raise the money to buy her a new chair. I was wondering if anyone has any other issues, good or bad, with any powered chair providers that we should consider before buying. Any help on the subject would be very much appreciated.

We are in the process of looking at suitable cars to wheel the motorised wheelchair onto (via a ramp) and secure. Can anyone recommend a car (make/model)?

Also, is it best to change the car every 5 years with Motorbility or has anyone brought their own car and made the adjustments and kept the car?

I would appreciate any comments or ideas.
