I have 2 1/2 yr. old boy with symptoms of mild cp. He cannot talk or walk unassisted. He is receiving PT/OT/Speech. He is relying on sign language and learning new signs every day! He will enter public school for disabled children when he turns 3. I would love to hear from anyone who is having similar experience. I am in Houston,TX and would be interested in any support group in my area.
My daughter is 5 years old and has mild CP, Although each child is different, your story sounds similar to mine. My daughter was in Speech, OT and PT. She didn't walk independently until she was a little over 3 years old. She was discharged from speech around 2 1/2 years old. She has been in the school system since she was 3 years old and I absolutely love it! It has been one of the best things that I could have done for her. Feel free to e-mail me if you want.
I just wanted to write and give you alittle encouragement. I am 32 years old have have a slight case of CP that affects my left side. I had mutiple surgeries at ages 2 3 11 and 15. I thank my parents for letting me live a very normal life like all my friends. I wrestled from kindergarten thru 12 grade. Placed 5th in the state tournament. I was in cross country and on the debate team in college. I have been in sales successfully for the last 7 years and have 5 beautiful, 100% healthy children. Your son will be completely fine. Please don't baby him or act like he has a handicap and he will be able to do wonderful things in his life. If you have any questions or if I can be of any help please email me. Thanks so much, Ben
I also have a very mild case of CP. I am 30. I have tight heel cords. I had surgery on both cords to stretch them and it worked, but because I did not do my exercises after the surgery, they became tight again. However, my walking has improved with alot of bike riding and walking.
