At the time of Emma's diagnosis, we did not find many other children or contacts within the UK who were in the same Perthes boat. We decided to keep this diary and hope in time it will help others.

Extra swimming lessons

As swimming is one activity that Emma can still do and is encouraged to do, we enrolled her into another swimming club for some extra lessons.

Emma went to her first lesson on Monday, she was moved up to the next class as there was more room with just one child. The coach said she wanted to give her more room so that she wouldn't be accidently kicked by other children and she is able to cope with the deep water.

At the end of the lesson, the teacher gave Emma a slip of paper. She'd been awarded Grade 2 Water Skills! Not bad for her first lesson at the new club LOL!
