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 movement

s 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!!

When we did Keiras' BIG build a few years ago, we only made a wet floor shower room. We bought a pop-up bath, and it has been amazing, but she outgrew it, and lifting her in and out was becoming dangerous. We decided on a walk-in non-slip bath with a seat that raises and lowers. She will obviously need to be assisted walking in and out but will be able to enjoy her lush bath bombs in her new spa bath 😍 She LOVES it 😊

Busy busy little me! I keep telling Mum and Dad that I can't wait to finish school, but all said and done, I think I'm going to miss it. I think the reason I tell myself that I don't like it is because I hate getting up out of my cosy bed in the morning. Who's idea was it to make school so early?

Very productive couple of weeks at school 💖 Can't believe it's Miss Keiras last year at school ðŸ˜Ē Navigating next steps is very overwhelming, finding a placement that meets all of her physical needs as well as mental and emotional needs is hard. We have been extremely lucky with school in Spain and here, having it close to where we live. All adult services that Miss Keira loves are outside our catchment area. Don't worry 😉 I'm advocating my bahooty off to get the right place/places for our amazing girl 💖 Stay tuned........

Fresh blended food ✔ïļ

Juice today is beetroot, pineapple, ginger, orange, cucumber, and carrot.

Food is broccoli, potato, spinach, turmeric, garlic, and olive oil.

What we put in our body is important, especially in the winter months with all the bugs going around. Hope everyone had a great weekend and hugs for those going through anything at the moment 💛
