What is it? What exactly happens? Will she get better? Will she get worse?
She will be fine.
She will out grow it.
Its nothing to worry about.
OH stop, its not bad.
Ive heard it all. All of these. The questions and the statements.
Kaylee has Cerebral Palsy with Hemiplegia.
Cerebral Palsy is when a child has lack of oxygen either in the womb, during labor, or sometime up to the age of 1 or 2. I cant quite remember the time frame, since Kaylees happened at birth.
Anyways, I had a HORRIBLE delivery. We are NOT sure what caused it, other than we know it happened during delivery. She can improve. Not necessary get fully recovered, there is no cure, but she can improve. She will not get worse. But it will be with her for the rest of her life. She has more of the mild side of Cerebral Palsy so she will be able to walk, we just don't know when. Hemiplegia is when it affect one side of the body, for example, Kaylee's right side doesn't not work as well as her left.
Now, for these ignorant statements I have gotten. This are just a few Ive been told that have irritated me the most. She will improve but never be "fine", it will always be with her. There is NO WAY to outgrow it. It affects her brain. How do you not worry about your child??? She is my child, and i will worry however much I want. All you have to worry about its going clubbing and getting drunk. You think I'm stupid for worry but you can worry about bullshit? Right. Ok... and maybe its not that bad but it didn't happen to you and it isn't affecting your life in anyways so don't tell me its not that bad until you know what you what your talking about.
Most people do not know what Cerebral Palsy is.
It is not contagious.
Do your research before judging people because you dont know what they are going through.
