Let me begin by introducing myself and my family. I am Clare Lally, I am 31 years young and I live in West Dunbartonshire with my partner Derek, 35, and our beautiful twin daughters Holly and Katie (from here on I will refer to them as the Twincesses).

Clare and the Twincesses
The Twincesses are nearly five and like all families our kids are our life. We would do anything for our children and that’s exactly what I am going to be blogging about.
You see one of our girls has a life-threatening condition (bulbar palsy) and requires 24-hour care. She also has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and is unable to walk, talk and her life-threatening condition means she is unable to swallow and protect her airway and she is a silent aspirator which means she is always at risk of choking - hence the 24-hour care!
