Scarlett AVM warrior

Back on the mirror box after a break from it —and it’s clear how much it helps Scarlett. We’ll definitely be making it a more regular part of her routine going forward.

“I’m feeling brave.”

And she proved it. 💖

Yes, I do get very emotional — seeing how far Scarlett has come is truly unbelievable. She is incredible and continues to amaze us every single day.

Keep going, sweetheart. We are all behind you ❤️

For those who are new here, Scarlett suffered a haemorrhagic stroke caused by an AVM, followed by a severe skull infection.

To date, Scarlett has undergone nine surgeries — two of which were life-saving. Her AVM is now significantly smaller, but it is still present, which means there remains a risk of another bleed.

We are currently waiting for the next stage of treatment, which will likely be either Gamma Knife or further surgery.

Second week back at gymnastics… and it’s badge week 💫

Scarlett had to start from the very beginning — even though before the bleed she’d already completed every badge, made squad, and placed 🥇1st & 🥈2nd in her first competitions.

So… did she let that stop her?
Not a chance.

Today she smashed her Grade 8 badge 💪✨
Even surprised her coaches — doing moves they didn’t think she could.

Tried acro for the first time too… and LOVED it 🥹

Seeing that sparkle back in her eyes meant everything.
This is where she belongs ❤️

I won’t lie — I’m emotional.
But more than anything… I’m grateful.

After 2 years, Scarlett had her very first gymnastics class back… and excited doesn’t even cover it 🥹
She did so well and came out absolutely buzzing — next week can’t come quick enough!

She’s starting again from the beginning, but this is exactly what she needs for her rehabilitation… and more importantly, she’s back doing what she loves ❤️
This has always been her goal, to get back to gymnastics.

I won’t lie, I definitely had something in my eye a few times 😢

I’m just so proud of how far she’s come.

Thank you so much to Hollington Gymnastics Club for always supporting Scarlett and helping make this happen 🤍

And of course, she took her special drink bottle from Beth Tweddle — she’d been saving it for a moment like this 🥰

"POV: Nanny said she just wanted a cup of tea… 👀😂

So we casually took her to The Shard ✨
Peter Pan afternoon tea 🧚‍♀️, unreal views, and memories we’ll never forget 🥰

It’s the little moments… (that turn into the biggest ones) ❤️"
