  • London has been put into Tier 4 restrictions after a Covid-19 mutation spread rapidly thought the Capital.

    London has been put into Tier 4 restrictions after a Covid-19 mutation spread rapidly thought the Capital.
    20/12/2020. London, UK. On the last Sunday before Christmas, Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd’s Bush, West London is almost empty as non-essential shops close due to Tier 4 restrictions. Yesterday Prime Minister, Boris Johnson put London and parts of the South East into Tier 4 lockdown restrictions after a Covid-19 mutation spread rapidly thought the Capital. In his address to the Nation last night, he outlined that Christmas is effectively cancelled with the closing of non-essential shops. Travelling outside Tier 4 areas, mixing with different households and Christmas bubbles are also banned after a dramatic rise in infections. Last Wednesday London was put into Tier 3 after the new Covid-19 variant was discovered.

    Hannah says the family remain positive thanks to Layla's charm and joy (Collect/PA Real Life). *** Mum whose daughter is only person with two genetic mutations making her life expectancy unknown says she is "happiest girl on the planet"

    By Joe Pagnelli, PA Real Life

    A mum claims her daughter is the "happiest girl on the planet" despite living under a huge question mark as the seven-year-old is the only person in the world with two genetic mutations which mean no one knows her life expectancy.

    It took more than a year of her missing "every milestone" before Hannah Wood, 27, says her daughter Layla's condition really started to worry doctors.

    In November 2018, she was finally diagnosed with the NFIX gene mutation, which causes developmental and intellectual delay, epilepsy, overgrowth, skeletal anomalies and vision impairment. But she was also diagnosed with the BPTF gene mutation, which is linked to breathing issues, heart problems and childhood cancer, for which she is tested every year.

    Yet Hannah, who lives in Ocala, Florida, USA, with Layla, and her partner Dallis Crossin, 28, with whom she runs a handyman business, and her other children Samantha, nine, Wyatt, eight, and three-month-old Arabella, said: "She has such a positive light about her.

    "Anyone who knows Layla knows she is a star.

    "She’s the happiest girl in the world. Everything makes her happy, she brightens everyone’s day."

    Layla's genetic mutations mean she cannot speak or eat on her own. Despite being seven, she still has to wear a nappy and needs 24-hour supervision.

    She said: "I would never trade her for anything.

    "Because we don’t know what the future holds, we just take it day by day and make the most of our time with her.

    "But I still allow myself to dream of her growing older."

    When Layla does hit a milestone - such as learning to walk on her own in the last year - it is a cause for celebration.

    A mum claims her daughter is the "happiest girl on the planet" despite living under a huge question mark as the seven-year-old is the only person in the world with two genetic mutations which mean no one knows her life expectancy.

    It took more than a year of her missing "every milestone" before Hannah Wood, 27, says her daughter Layla's condition really started to worry doctors.

    In November 2018, she was finally diagnosed with the NFIX gene mutation, which causes developmental and intellectual delay, epilepsy, overgrowth, skeletal anomalies and vision impairment. But she was also diagnosed with the BPTF gene mutation, which is linked to breathing issues, heart problems and childhood cancer, for which she is tested every year.

    Yet Hannah, who lives in Ocala, Florida, USA, with Layla, and her partner Dallis Crossin, 28, with whom she runs a handyman business, and her other children Samantha, nine, Wyatt, eight, and three-month-old Arabella, said: "She has such a positive light about her.

    "Anyone who knows Layla knows she is a star.

    "She’s the happiest girl in the world. Everything makes her happy, she brightens everyone’s day."

    Layla's genetic mutations mean she cannot speak or eat on her own. Despite being seven, she still has to wear a nappy and needs 24-hour supervision.

    She said: "I would never trade her for anything.

    "Because we don’t know what the future holds, we just take it day by day and make the most of our time with her.

    "But I still allow myself to dream of her growing older."

    When Layla does hit a milestone - such as learning to walk on her own in the last year - it is a cause for celebration.
