Little Miss Morgan… by Kevin Clement (NRRTS News - Spring 2006)
How does a person, whose journey from college started out as a certified athletic trainer in a Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy
Center, find his way into the field of Seating and Mobility? One day, I was working with high school, college, and professional
athletes. After leaving the medical profession for a few years, I find myself back in the profession, working with children who have
the hearts and desires of champions.
You may have heard some of the families you work with talk about the story “Welcome to Holland” by Emily Perl Kingsley. It
compares the experience of “planning” for your baby to planning for a trip to Italy. However, when the plane lands, you’re in
Holland, a place you’re not quite prepared for. The journey I planned had me on the sidelines of the upcoming bowl games or The
Super Bowl. Instead, I took the detour to Holland and became a “tour guide” in the lives of the families struggling to find their way.
For nearly seven years my wife, Sara, and I have been on a journey that we had never dreamed of embarking upon. Our daughter,
Morgan, was born on February 15, 1999, her mother's birthday. Our journey started out so very "typical," just as written in the tour
book. Both Sara's pregnancy and childbirth were "normal". We were blessed with the special little redheaded girl that we had
dreamed of and prayed for. When Morgan was just six weeks old, we learned just how truly "special" she was, and our journey in
Holland began.
Our special little redheaded angel has an extremely rare neurological and seizure disorder called Aicardi Syndrome. It is an x-
linked genetic disorder that affects only girls. At the time of Morgan’s birth, there were only 300-500 cases worldwide. All of Morgan’
s “Aicardi Sisters” are unique in their own way. Some of the girls can walk, some can't; some can see, some can't. We have learned
the hard way not to compare Morgan to her Aicardi Sisters and their milestones. Morgan will develop on her own schedule and time
frame. Morgan will be Morgan, nothing more, and nothing less.
We have traded in our visions of skinned knees, recitals, gymnastics, and light up sneakers for seizure medicines, wheelchairs,
switch toys and light up casters. We are constantly faced with ever-changing seizure patterns, the juggling of medicines, the
constant routine of therapies and doctors’ appointments and the never-ending hospital stays. Morgan has never spoken a word;
however, she speaks to us in many ways. We have learned and accepted Morgan’s world. She has taught us her body language by
the way she speaks with her eyes, her facial expressions, and her calls. We have learned to trust our instincts when we feel
something isn’t right, even if everyone tells us everything looks fine.
In the fall 2002, I grew even closer to Morgan’s World. I had traveled from working with athletes that overcome physical injuries to
get back onto the playing field, to working with children that fight the never-ending battle to be accepted into the game of life. At
times it is a struggle for me to keep my emotions hidden. My heart aches each time I have to evaluate a child for their “First
Wheelchair”. I can read the parent’s eyes and feel the struggles they face in this denial and acceptance phase of their journey. I
have flash backs to those days--the days of “I don’t want my child to look handicapped”, “I don’t want her wheelchair to look like a
piece of medical equipment”, and “I want it to look like a typical stroller”.
While all parents of special needs children have similar battles to fight, none of us follow the same path. Each syndrome, diagnosis,
or injury is different, and each child is unique. Although there are differences, we still feel the same pain, hurt the same hurt, and
dream the same dreams. I see some of my patients do things that I can only dream that Morgan will do one day. However, in the
next moment, I am reminded of how lucky my family is and how blessed we truly are. I struggle to get through the bad days and
yearn for the good days, just like our patients’ parents do. We live one day at a time, cherishing each moment we have with our
“special” children.
At the beginning of our journey, I thought that my little girl would never play sports, dress up with her friends, or play like other little
girls do. She does all of those things now. She just does them differently. Morgan plays baseball in The Miracle League. She is
batting a thousand, she has never made an error, and she has never gone on strike. Morgan has dressed up in fashion shows and
shined like a Diva on the stage. She has also played with the Disney Princesses during her Make-A-Wish Trip to Give Kids the
World and Disney World. I have experienced seeing our little girl, who we never thought would walk, take her “first steps” and glide
down the hall in her Power Tiger.
One good change is my unexpected career path; I have a true understanding of the struggles that our patients face. I get to
celebrate their highs and empathize with their lows. I am lucky enough to assist my patients with their first steps, playing on the
playground, and just be a kid. Best of all, I know Morgan and her Mommy love having me on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365
days a year.The past seven years have been quite a journey. Our journey is ever-changing and we are all faced with new
challenges and obstacles on a daily basis. The journey we are on is not our chosen path, but when you look at how our special
children touch the lives of others, we can make it through our travels feeling blessed.
