In Loving Memory Of

Chelsea Scott

Chelsea was born feb 2000 in my home town newcastle upon tyne, england. Chelsea was so perfect and from the first moment I seen her I knew she was special, even though we didnt know what was wrong at that point. When chelsea was three days old she began to take fits and the doctors worked very hard to find out the cause. Around a week later I was sat down and told she had acardie syndrome and what I should expect chelsea’s little life would have instore for her. I was heart broken but stayed strong even though I was only 16yr old at the time, I couldnt quite belive it as looking at chelsea you wouldnt belive it was anything wrong. From the moment I was told my love for chelsea only got stronger, as weeks, days and years went by she proved a lot of doctors wrong. Chelsea was amazing and achived so much, claping her hands, sitting up unaided, learning a little macaton, made lots of friends and brought pleasure into may peoples lives. Expecialy mine, chelsea was my world. A lot of tough times, chelsea had epilepsy which was quite under control, the systs in her brain, motor and learning difficulties, partcialy blind also scoliosis. All will be very similer to every child with the syndrome. But chelsea was so happy and never hardly misserable. My adorable loving little girl loved life, with a big smile and wakeing up to her shouting mam still makes my heart melt just thinking about her. The tough times came when chelsea was nine year old and the scoliosis was so bad she got out of breath at me even getting her ready and she became tierd very easily. The doctors decided they needed to operate to my dread I had it in my head shes a fighter she will get through this. The morning of the operation came july 2009 it came to quick couldnt belive it was happening, I didnt want her to have it but I knew she would have to have it to make her better. Walking down to theatre was like a bad dream and the waiting for her to come out was worse. Eventualy chelsea came around and after such a big operation to straighten her spine chelsea wanted to sing the little green frog song I say this with a big smile. The first night chelseas breathing started to decrease and the doctors put her into intensive care to give her body a rest as her organs started to suffer. The doctors were amazing and I tried my very best to stay strong it all happend so quick and within two days chelsea couldnt take anymore. Chelsea fell asleep on the 24th july. My life has changed but I feel so lucky I had nine wonderful years with my special beautiful baby girl. My heart will never mend but my memories of chelsea keeps me strong.
