What would you say to a new parent in honor of national CP Day
CP did not prevent me from being a cute baby |
First I asked in a CP group on facebook
"That no matter what she needs to remember that regardless of the"Label" her child is still her child the same as yesterday and nothing will change that , and though therapy etc is important, so is being a kid - remember to still have plan old FUN!"Fall 1999 swinging away |
"Cp does not give you limits, live life to its fullest "
"Your child has cp, they are not cp. it is simply a part of who they are,its does no define them"
"Expect your child to be able to do everything(albit on an extend timeline) until she clearly shows that she just isn't physically capable if doing it. If you want other to treat your child like they're any " normal kid then you a s the parent need to treat her that way"
"For me.. I wish someone had told me to work on his communication. That milestones will be there just different ones. Its Ok to cry and it's ok to ask for help. treating them normal is so important.. [my son]is not able to walk.. but I always put him on the floor to play.. he would roll around.. sometimes whacking his head on the roll cause he didn't have the control at

"Remember Dr's are practicing for a reason. I personally will not get a surgery without talking to people who have experienced it before. I was told, "If it sounds too good to be true, look into it, it might just be."
" You still have the same child you had before the diagnosis..."
" You still have the same child you had before the diagnosis..."
I then asket my mom and she said
"I would tell them to be thankful for their child and prepared for the amazement of the power of unconditional love. Your child will teach you many life lessons and demonstrate the strength and resolve of the human spirit. With AZ, I learn every day just how amazing she is!"
I also asked other people with CP ( cause we are the experts right )
"it's not the end of the world, and your child is whole and perfect just the way they are:)"

Everyone loves Max
This blogger does not need much introduction she is big in the special needs blog community . Her name is Ellen and her son name is Max. Ellen writes at Love that Max, which is easy to do because he has a great personality, and she is blogging for me today Here is Ellen and one of her Amazing kids She also has a daughter named Sabrina who is also amazing, Max.
Do you know someone with Cerebral Palsy?
Do you know someone with Cerebral Palsy?
Oh, yes: My son, Max, who's 10. He rocks.
Have they changed you somehow?
I think parenthood generally changes you as a person. But Max has been eye-opening and life-changing in many other ways. Before I had Max, I nee knew anyone with cerebral palsy, and wasn't close to anyone who had special needs. Mostly, I pitied them. Then I had Max. He had a stroke at birth and doctors told us the worst-case scenarios about him—that he may never walk or talk, that he could have severe cognitive impairment. I was pretty devastated. But what they didn't know was that Max had supersonic determination, and that luck was on our side, too. Max command-crawled at age 2 and walked at 3. Today, he is able to articulate words and use his iPad to communicate. He rides a bike. He has a great life. Max has shown me the amazing powers of human will. He has shown me that no matter what people say, you CAN achieve.
Whats one thing you wish that everyone knew about them?
I wish people understood that children with cerebral palsy should not be pitied. No matter what their physical impairments, in many ways they are like any other kid and deserve to be treated as such.
How are they awesome?
Max is bright, funny, determined, curious, charming, perceptive and ultra-cute. Also: He has great hair.
Thanks Ellen Got stories its not too late to submit them for more information click here

My Favorite cousin
Yesterday we heard from my Grandma on my father's side so today we will here from my cousin (D) on my mom's side.
Do you know someone with Cerebral Palsy?
Do you know someone with Cerebral Palsy?
Well it just so happens that I do! And it just so happens to be my favorite cousin,
AZ and D Spring 2006 |
(pauses for a brief minute) I don’t want anyone getting jealous or nothing so…. all my cousins are my favorite, but she is very dear and special to me. If you have ever judged someone by them having a disability then I believe I have simple cure to your ignorance, meet her. She is a very smart, determined, and loving young lady. When we were both younger she spanked me in video games on a consistent basis and no one could touch her when it came to Harry Potter. If having a Cerebral Palsy means you can’t do as much as the next person and that you will have limitations, then someone definitely didn’t tell her that. She defined the word fun and overcoming obstacles, and I’m very proud of her. Family is an important thing, and nothing brings family together like the holidays; but to me the excitement to see your favorite cousin (yep I said it) and hang out with no limits attached to our fun meter, it is always going to be a highlight that I will remember.
Cheers
thanks D I love you
