Keeping up with Keira

Keeping up with Keira Keira is our amazing daughter who fights every day against cerebral palsy. We raise funds continually for therapy, equipment and for her every day needs.

Please follow her on her amazing journey where she continues to show cerebral palsy who's boss! Keira Marilyn is my amazing daughter who just turned 14 on 7th of Jan 2022. Keira has HIE this means her brain was starved of oxygen at birth. She also has Cerebral Palsy - Spastic Quadriplegic Dyskinetic this means that all four of her limbs are affected and she has involuntary and unorganised movements and the spasticity causes her limbs to be stiff. Keira also has a diagnosis of epilepsy. Despite her every day challenges Keira is one of the happiest little girls you would meet, her smile will brighten the darkest of your days. She communicate using her Tobii eye gaze communication device and will make you laugh if you give her a chance. Like many children using assistive technology it takes time for her to respond but she will if the person gives her a minute or two! It is important to not see a child as their disability but to just see them as every other person in the world. Keira often gets upset when people ask me questions for her as she is more than capable of nodding or shaking her head for yes and no or using her eye gaze to respond. She loves music and navigates her way through you-tube independantly finding her weekly/monthly "sounds" she mostly loves listening to Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, Ed-Sheeran, Harry Styles, The Cure and Pink Floyd. I believe some of these she likes and may remember from me listening to when she was in my belly! We will enjoy concerts together I know we will! Follow her on instagram to also keep up to date with her teenage antics!!

Today whilst doing the last of our Christmas shopping there were no disabled spots available. We parked across from the disabled bays in a parent and child spot, as they are also big enough for the van. We enjoyed a mooch around the shops and a lovely afternoon until returning back to the car to find someone had left a note for us πŸ™„

In what world did a person think it was right to leave this? Are motability vehicles only for adults πŸ€” erm nope, children can infact be disabled too!! I actually feel sorry for the person who left this note, they're obviously going through something right now that's turned them into a d!cΒ£!!

Don't be this person πŸ™„ Don't stoop this low!!

The Christmas Fayre was a success once again!! I was obviously the best at selling at my post, must be my cool young energy πŸ«£πŸ˜† I even had to step in and help mum on a couple of occasions (bless her, she's getting old) Afterwards I went home for a well earned chill with a new balloon 🎈 and watched some TV πŸ‘ŒπŸŽ„πŸ€Ά πŸŽ„

So happy to see Miss Keira happy at frame running again πŸ’— For a few weeks she was struggling and very unhappy/uncomfortable and we were worried 😟 Last week she was back to her usual happy running self and this week she was on top form again which is great to see.

Unfortunately, it was her favourite volunteers last night tonight πŸ˜• Adam has been absolutely AMAZING with Keira this past year, so much encouragement from him and patience. We will definitely miss him. Miss Keira made him a painting, aerial view of the track with her at the finish line in her green bike, Adam encouraging her to finish just like he always does βœ”οΈ

Great prize ❀️ All going to a very worthy cause, my school ❀️🏴󠁧󠁒󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🎫🧳 HO-HO-HOLIDAY RAFFLE!🧳🎫

After the success of our first ever raffle, James has decided he's now confident enough to ramp up the prize & raise even more money for another worthy cause! 😁

This time we're fund-raising for a cause very close to our hearts; we're raising money for Calaiswood School - the school our Son (also James!) attends 🏫

This time we're offering you the chance to 'Win 5 Nights in a Motorhome' Raffle for just Β£10 an entry which we hope to fill between now and the end of their Christmas Fayre on Saturday 29th November! πŸ’°

Just let us know what number(s) you fancy [On this post, only please! πŸ™], or if any random number(s) will do, and we'll update your name on the list πŸ“œ

You then simply pay to lock in your entry on the link below πŸ‘‡
πŸ”— https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/9k9VLTZmus πŸ”—

Please note number requests can come in quicker than we can administer your request, so if the number is already taken we'll allocate you a random alternative number to keep things moving along nicely! 🎱

Once all the squares are bought and paid for, the Winner will be drawn and announced πŸ†

πŸ€ Good Luck! πŸ€
