Chelsea, from Brading on the Isle of Wight, was born eleven weeks early on 25th February, 2012 weighing a tiny 2lbs12oz.
When Chelsea was born she suffered two bilateral grade four IVH bleeds on her brain which has resulted in Chelsea having extensive brain damage which has shown on her MRI. Because of these complications they have affected Chelse
a in lots of ways; one is that she has faltering growth because Chelsea cannot eat or drink orally. She is feed for 20 hours a day via a NG tube and pump soon will be having GJ button fitted.
Chelsea is now 9 months old and only weighs 11lb14oz. Chelsea also has evolving four limb cerebal palsy with muscle spasms which is very painful for her and requires her to have lots of physio. She also had an EEG which was abnormal.
Chelsea has lots of seizures due to epilepsy and then last of all Chelsea has delayed visual maturation. Chelsea does not fix or follow and Chelsea cannot see due to her brain damage; she has CVI (cortical visual imparement).
This is where Chelsea's family decided to start Chelsea's Wishes. Because of Chelsea's complex needs she is going to require lots of equipment and because of Chelsea's size she doesn’t fit into any normal clothes. We would also like to create a sensory nursery for Chelsea with lights, sounds and things for her to touch.
We know Chelsea reacts slightly to light so we want to try and help her to see more. All this equipment we cannot afford on our own, so we needs as much help as we can.
Please help this little princess have the best in life that we can give her.
