Hello!

My name is Heather, and i have an almost 3 year old little girl named Eleanore (Ellie for short) who was diagnosed with CP at 9 months old. Her case is very mild, only a small pea size of her brain was affected. She has spastic hemipeligia that affects her right side of her body. She had to wear a brace on her hand at night for awhile and a nightime AFO. Now she just got a daytime AFO and has had botox injections in her right calf.

I could blab on and on forever but i just was excited to see there was a CP community on here!! Its will be nice to have other parents on here who understand what i am talking about instead of having to re-explain things allll the time.

Hi Heather, thanks for joining us. This board has started off slow, but I hope it helps other parents connect. I hope you check in often to share what's going on.

It encourages me, and I'm sure others, to see we're not the only ones going through so much with our kids.
