Post cause of death in cerebral palsy

I have a friend that has a five year old son that has cerebral palsy. She is concerned
about the causes of death in a person with
cerebral palsy. Can anyone give me some help for her?

People with cp. usually have a normal lifespan and die of the things that typical people do. Some people w/ cp may choke more frequently, fall frequently, etc. Accidents (like falls) may be worse for someone with cp because the person w/ cp may not be able to protect themselves as well. Precautions just need to be set, just like with any child. Don't be paranoid about falls. Let kids be kids. A child w/ cp deserves the chance to live as normal life as possible. Don't hold the child back unless the threat of injury is quite likely.
I am 24 years old and I am doing quite well.

just thought id say my uncle wayne has cp and the doctors told his mom he would not live to see 17 ....... hes now 47 and they say the one very one thing that helped him make it was the care and love from his mom and family she could have put him in a insitute but he wouldnt have made it its there SPIRIT you need to keep alive. he can not walk , talk , feed himself etc he sits in a wheel chair and depends on his mom for it all but his mind was not effected he is highly intelligent but he keeps on by the grace of God we are truly blessed to have him. May God bless you Gods the one!
