Life with Ikem: A Cerebral Palsy Warrior I share my journey with cerebral palsy, to create awareness and motivate special needs parents.

It's been three days since I exercised last because I was on a 3-day water fast which ended yesterday.

It feels good to be back in one of my favourite places.

To my fellow moms raising children with CP, sacrificing yourself for your child is not a virtue; self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.

You matter.

I understand how challenging this journey can be however, it should not consume you in the process.

Self-sacrifice can lead to burnout, resentment and transferring of aggression.

You just have to be intentional not to lose yourself.

Putting yourself first sometimes isn't selfishness.

Emotions is contagious and you need to keep yours regulated.

Do things that make you happy, be grateful and live.

Your child needs a better version of you.

You are the real MVPS.

March is National Cerebral Palsy (CP) Awareness Month.

This month is dedicated to increasing understanding, support, and research for this neurological disorder.

The movement is to promote inclusion, with a special emphasis on wearing green to support this course particularly on National CP Awareness Day, which is held annually on March 25th.

Every 25th March, I host a programme here to create awareness about CP and we bring Professionals to help on this.

This month we go green for CP.

May Your love be upon us Oh Lord as we hope in you.

Welcome to March.

I am soaking myself in this lenten season and I love it for me.

There's so much peace and joy in the Lord regardless of the challenges around you.

God is peace.

Try him and see.

Seek His heart this season and not His hands.

May the peace and Joy that I am experiencing in the Lord since this year and this lenten season be permanent in Jesus Name Amen.

Stop pressing phone, go and work out.

Tomorrow begins the third month of the year, it's 3/12 and you are yet to start the fitness journey that you promised yourself.

The truth is that excuses abound and you will continue to find them if you continue to entertain them.

Newsflash, no matter how valid your excuses for not doing something are, they can never give you the desired result. Get up and move your body.

Thank God for the privilege to see the last day of February.

There must be reasons to be grateful, look well and focus on them.

Enjoy your weekend and spend quality time with your family and loved ones.

While my children and I were going through their childhood memories, I remembered that Ikem used to have squint eyes, but they have disappeared.

Kai!

I remember complaining to his doctors and going to Guinness Eye Center in LUTH then.

I was worried and was asking God why my son was going through so much at his age.

After taking pictures of him then, I used to be sad because of his eyes. And today, the same picture is reminding me of how faithful the Lord has been to us in Life with Ikem: A Cerebral Palsy Warrior.

This is me telling God thank you and apologizing for all the times I have been ungrateful and complained so much.

No matter how challenging you think life is for you, there are always reasons to be grateful, and gratitude brings happiness.

This journey with Ikem is an adventure and a great school for me, regardless of the challenges; I am grateful for the opportunity.

In this pain, I have discovered many gains, and I am focusing on my gains.

Gratitude over everything.

My children and I were going through their pregnancy and childhood pictures, videos, and memories, and they were all happy and jumping.

We had so much fun, and looking back on the years, all I can say is thank you, Jesus.

You needed to have seen how happy these made them, even though today is not our first time.

They already know about their particular pregnancy photoshoots and some of their childhood pictures.

By the time they grow up and read all the letters I have written to them, eeh!

Please, if you don't keep memories, start today and save them well.

You don't need to bring them on social media.

Create memories with your loved ones, make every experience and moment count, take pictures, videos, and save them.

Years from today, you will be glad that you did.

If you have young children, please just start after reading this.

Document your memories and keep them safe.

I was at Cerebral Palsy Center (CpCenter) on Sunday and you need to see the great work that Mrs Nonye Nwosuh Nweke is doing there.

Cerebral Palsy Center Nigeria is where she takes care of Cerebral Palsy children.

You need to see the great work going on there.

If you visit there and don't scream, just call me out here.

Currently, the staff quarters building is going and they need our support.

This is where the caregivers and other workers will be living to enable them work well.

The center can't function without the workers.

The center is operating on people's support and the children there don't pay.

Please, no amount is small to support us.

See the flyer for donation details.

One of the best things that happened to Ikem and I this year.

We no longer struggle to bath like before.

And my heart no longer skips when it's his bathing time.

You don't want to know what this bathing chair is doing in our lives.

I saw this chair first Cerebral Palsy Center (CpCenter) and sent the picture to my sister-in-law and the rest is history.

Visiting CP center in 2023 is one of the best things that happened to Life with Ikem: A Cerebral Palsy Warrior.

You don't want to know how much this costs and to bring it down here.

We are blessed with the best support systems.
