My son has cerebral palsy with a left hemiplegia . He is now 20 years old . He is starting a supported internship at his local college . His love in life is cricket playing ,watching and coaching .As his mother often joke that I'm his personal assistant but joking aside I do help with things such as PIP and universal credit to name a few .they are becoming harder and harder to fill out .

He is having botox to his wrist for the first time and not sure what expect .he has had previously had surgery on his left semi foot leg successfully .

    Hey there @carolynwillis and welcome to the community. 😊

    I hope the form filling isn't becoming too much? We're all here for support if you need us. Regarding the botox, I believe another of our members has just had their injection and seemed positive about things. We have a great CP network who I hope will be able to give you some more input on this. 😊
