The Wiggles spread some dance magic

DREW Brownhill-Feain, 2, of Lismore, cuddled into her mum's shoulder as Emma the bright yellow Wiggle walked out from behind the curtain.

The bubbly two year old spent the first four months of her life in the Mater Children's Hospital in Brisbane after being born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which gave her a 40% chance of survival.

 

Drew learnt most of the Wiggle lyrics before she could talk and half the dance moves before she could walk blowing away the doctors, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and physiotherapists.

And thanks to the kindness of The Wiggles she was able to meet the group who helped her recover at the sold out show at Lismore City Hall on Tuesday.

 

Thanks to an article in The Northern Star, her father Dominic Feain said he was delighted to find out the Wiggles had allowed them not only to meet all the Wiggles but also had found room for them at the show.

"It is such a great day and so great to see her here," he said.

"I would do anything for her.

"Emma is definitely her favourite Wiggle."
