Living with Cerebral Palsy

Tyler was born on Aug 25,05 his birth weight 8lbs. 13oz big boy!. I had a c- section may personal choice. I attend all of my doctors visit everything was normal took my vitamins. ate very well always made sure I took care of my-self. I was very excited he is my first child.

It was was about when he 11mos. I noticed he was not using his right hand and he was not crawling he won’t move his right leg I took him to his Dr. who referred me to the neologist [neurologist]. He suggested we do an MRI I was scared but we did it. It was then we discovered he has cerebral palsy.

I first I blamed myself I cried but now I realize its nothing I did wrong. God just sent him that way. He is 2 yrs old now and he is the most wonderful thing that could ever happen to me. He is my pride and joy. I thank God that Tyler is the way he is. Because through him I have experience the most beautiful things in life, I ‘V met other kids that have a severe case of CP. And I’m glad Tyler can walk , run , and feed himself . As he gets older I’m sure he will have other problems but with god hand we will get through them.
