: SINCE WE FOUND OUT OUR DAUGHTER HAS CP, I FEEL LIKE AN EMOTIONAL RECK. I DON'T
: WANT A STONE UNTURNED, BUT SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW IF I AM COMING OR GOING. OUR
: DAUGHTER IS RECEIVING PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY WHEN SHE ALLOWS IT.(
: BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME SHE DOESNT WANT TO BE PUT DOWN-SHE CRIES.) IS THERE
: ANYBODY WHO FEELS THE SAME WAY AND HAS COME TO A DECISION ABOUT "HBOT"?

OK, you,re child has CP, it's not the end of the world, short of a brain transplant, there's not a hell of a lot you can do about it.

Just remember that you child has to live with it, so should you.
