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!!

Sometimes you just need to hop on the train, and get away from your own mother who, excuse me, has no fashion sense. Go with your favourite, like minded person and get anything you want. Yes it was totally worth it. I don't think we can afford to do these shopping sprees constantly though £££££ 😆 TOTALLY worth it

Our last day in Lanzarote was well spent. It was the perfect beach day! Brilliant accessibility features and for sure the cleanest beach we've ever been to. We were in the water for sooooo long, and it was perfect. Surrounded by fish in pristine waters. We are home now until our next adventure...... stay tuned!!

What a beautiful place to go. The entrance is entirely accessible, into the cafeteria, and you get the amazing views. There is no need to go outside to see how amazing it is. I sat on the step and took it all in for a while, though ❤️

Another fantastic day I was actually able to get some physical therapy footage without being death stared out of the room by Miss Keira 😅 You are simply amazing, Keira

Summer holidays so far!! A few good days of sunshine. A wee visit to Blackness Castle with the fambo and some dooks in the paddling pool. Not bad for the first 2 weeks..... oh, and OBVIOUSLY a shopping spree at my favourite shop LUSH UK, best bath bombs ever 😍

1 week until my next intensive therapy!

Stay tuned.....

And just like that, Miss Keira has finished school 😭 Senior Prom was amazing, and she danced her heart out. She looked absolutely stunning in her dress that she bought when we were in Orlando, just perfect 💓

We are sad to leave Calaiswood behind, but we are looking forward to see what the future holds. I have no doubt that she will be missed by many, but it's time to make her mark in new places with new people, and I have no doubt she will 💓

We are so proud of you each and every day, Miss Keira ❤️ You are simply amazing, don't ever change.
