There goes my heart


Cerebral Palsy
 is a non-progressive condition caused from damage to certain areas of the brain usually occurring before or shortly after birth.

My son has Cerebral Palsy. It affects all four of his limbs, his hands, his trunk, his neck, his mouth. In fact, I don't think there is much of him that is not affected to some degree. At least on the parts of him that we can see. The parts we can't see, we have to guess but the reality is that if it has a muscle that impacts the function there no doubt is some effect on the muscle from the CP.

My son is my HERO. He is my heart, out there for the entire world to see and feel and interact with. Every day, in every activity that he attempts, he struggles for control of the movement of his body through space. Yes, he has equipment that helps him to sit in proper alignment, stand in proper alignment, and move through his environment in a safe manner. He has many people that work with him to maintain his safety and oversee his ability to function with as much success as he is capable of. I appreciate the efforts of all of these people. He will be successful. He will have independence. There goes my heart...
