Kelly you are an inspiration huni and it was so nice to interview you. I know you will overcome this totally and achieve everything you still want in life. x
Well done Kelly. You are amazing & a true inspiration.
A friend of mine who I meet when I was in the rehab learning to walk again (brain tumour, hydrocephalus, 4 brain infections) she had gelion Barry sydrome. She has the best heart I have ever seen. She has climbed the O2 building and she has done so much in her life. Credit to your family you are. You burnell
We interviewed Kelly at Speke concerts a few weeks ago which you can find on our youtube page. She is a lovely, down to Earth person and its great she has done this documentary. Really good inspiration.
All of u guys are brave n strong! God bless u alllll
Great, honest clip Kelly - thanks.
Excellent video! Yes there are disabled mums or moms (US) out there. Married to one myself and I myself am disabled. We are out here but most of the time disabled people are out focused on living and raising their kids to be best adults they can and not focused on reaching out to the abled bodied community. Its people like you and I who hopefully will change that.
I'm currently a single woman (age 24 going on 25) living in the US who lives with the hidden disability of Asperger's Syndrome. I'm also an epileptic who has been seizure free since 2007 due to being on two medications (one of which I know is not safe for pregnancy since it has been confirmed a few years ago. this medication I speak of is called Topamax) I was sterilized at the age of 19 (I was pressured by family to agree to sign the papers for the procedure so I didn't really agree to it, I just felt pressured into doing something I still felt was wrong) but I hope one day to have a family of my own (permitting that my country's system gets their act together and starts being open-minded towards us disabled citizens.)
Wow... Really inspiring! I have muscular dystrophy and I know what it feels like when you are young and have to go everywhere in wheelchair, fortunately I still can walk but life goes on and we can’t stop! Keeping going… and you are so gorgeous btw!
There are a lot of forms of disability that are still overlooked
красивая мама с дочуркой я вижу очень счастлива
im in the usa and i was paralyzed july 09 after wrecking my harley. i will sign too i hope i can help in any way i can. god bless her. brian/49/ohio
I'm a Disabled Mum. I'm a wheelchair user because I have Spina Bifida. Not only was I a wheelchair user who was pregnant but I was also single and 17 years old.
I really struggled with going out shopping etc with my daughter while she was a baby. I just couldn't do it on my own. When she was walking and could walk longer distances things got easier. I would love to be able to chat with Kelly! There are lots of Disabled Parents out there.
My First Mate's wife was born without hands and used two hooks. The faces of the other mums when she arrived at the Kindergarten with the pram were amusing! My wife in a wheelchair from 30 odd due to MD and I had three children but that was in Germany where attitudes were different - so many disabled due to deliberate bombing of civilians in the war. We got by.
their needs to be adapted equipment and support groups.
i would of loved to be apart of this watching this was like watching my self shes right there isnt enuff help for disabled mothers we want to be indapendant but thers not enuff adaptations for baby products out there to let us doo soo........and watching somone els offer ur baby somthing u cant ie bouncing rocking catching is hart breaking .... iv never hated my disability untill having my son realizing what i cant do for him for the first tiime in my life i hate the way i am
sorry petition said closed.
O.M.G my little boys just trund 1 and spent the hole time woundering wether ther was anyone els out ther how felt like me . im wheelchair bound but would also like to take my hat of to perants with learning and all other disabilitys
i agree with u there's hardly any support out the about parenting and how to do simple things with a baby im a wheelchair user and im thinking about having a baby been trying to find out some information befor a start trying but theres nothing
nice Kelly ;-)
If you want to chat to Kelly you can contact her via twitter @kellymariestewa I'm sure she'll reply or even follow you so you can DM eachother!.
i know how she feels im a mom in a wheel chair and when my son was born i got depresed because i could not carry my son like other moms did
hes 4 now and he know i cant pick him up when im leaning on a wall and he carrys things around and says i like to help mom
Is this going to be on tv?
God bless you kelly . how can contact you?
There are people who have it worse. But that doesn't mean she doesn't struggle. Stairs, changing light bulbs on a ceiling, lawn mowing, vacuuming....these are just a few examples people in wheelchairs struggle with. There's also mental struggle. I'm sure a beautiful blonde like her, at times, wishes she can walk or play volleyball at the beach. Perhaps it hurts her seeing a happy couple walking or jumping around in a pool.
is only her right leg paralyzed? and that is how she can get by crutching if so why do they not just choose to just amputate? that would make it easier for her to get around. or is there hope of the problem going away
She is
Someone should create a pram attached to a wheel chair BOOM
I think a while back i saw a pram that could be attached to a wheelchair.
oh well anything just for popularity I guess, even using the subject of disability. thank you for being insensitive to people like us
Kelly, I know what you are saying in May it will be 13 yrs since my accident. I did get pregnant, but Sadly lost her at 7months into my pregnancy.
I would love a chat, I'm on fb Tanya (Strictly come raving)Eli,or twitter@Ragadeyanne
سلام اختي عزيزتي حياك الله
She, the Mum, is beautiful, speaks softly, dresses stylish/trendy...but the high heels look awkward in this...circumstance. While I wouldn't go as far as calling her a "fake" (that would be her problem), I just hope she doesn't trip, fall and break a pelvis-bone.
As a paralyzed person amputation is not an option for me simply because...well, who wants to have their legs chopped off unless it's a way to save their life? It's a scary thing to deal with. I'd rather build great upper body strength so I can move my body around easily than have my legs removed.
She's beautiful ✌ like to hookup with that beauty
where is the struggling part, I don't see her struggle with the glam in her hair and face while she pushes her expensive wheelchair , "no assistance" is such a strong word don't you think? nothing against you Kelly but I wish you could just visit the other side of the world and see how the disabled are living in poverty. then you can complain that your life is so difficult. just saying
