Elisha is a delightful and much loved little girl who has quadraplegic cerebral palsy and is prone to seizures which often occur during the night.
She was born 15 weeks early weighing just 1lb 2oz, she was tiny but perfect. The condition is a result of Necoritising enterocolitis (NEC) when she was 6 weeks old. It caused a rapid drop in blood pressure and lack of oxygen to the brain which resultled in severe brain damage.
The scheme for which we have planning permission is designed to give maximum benefit and inclusion for Elisha but the minimum impact from the additional facilities on the rest of the family which consist of both parents and 2 younger brothers.
We need to build and additional fully adapted and accesible bedroom above the garage with dedicated specially equiped ensuite wetroom and throughfloor lift.
Elisha has no Motor skills at present and so needs lifting or hoisting to move her. She is unable to speak, but communicates through noises and her most beautiful smile. She is learning to use switches at school, but because of the high tone it takes a lot of effort. Elisha is adored by all who meet her and her 2 younger brothers think she is fab!!
