When I was around a year old, I had multiple unexplained strokes which have had a big impact on my life and as a result I now need extra support. Due to my condition, I am unable to eat or drink orally, and I require all my nutrition and medications to be given through a tube in my nose which goes down to my tummy. Since becoming unwell, I have regular seizures and my body becomes stiff due to something called dystonia. I require a lot of medications to help with these and to keep me comfortable. I like to listen to music as this helps to relax me and I love when people sing along. I also like sensory play, such as looking at lights and feeling different textures. I like to go on walks to explore different places and be outside in the fresh air.
