daughter of ten months just diagnosed with cerebral palsy

hi,
my daughter is ten months old and has just been diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy, she has been seeing a physio once a week for 2 weeks now. they say that because there was birth problems and my daughter has right sided brain damage that the cerebral palsy is in her left side requiring lots of physio on the left leg and left arm.
is there any one in a similar situation as im really struggling to get my head round it all and come to terms with it..
many thanks xxx

my daughter has a left sided hemi, epilepsy and a slight visual impairment. She's at Uni now and also a budding Paralympian.
There's lots of help and support out there but don't get overwhelmed. Get the leaflets etc and go through them over the next few months when you feel your head can cope with them. Good luck xx
All the best,
Chelsea

i am 23 and have ataxic cp. I was born at 29 weeks. I was considered at time as a mirical baby. I had a bleed on my brain and my mum was told the part of my brain controlling abilitys to move walk and talk had died of and I would have severe learning difficulties. BUT at age 3 I learnt to walk and could already talk. I went to mainstream schools and have no learning disability. Although this took a lot (14 years of physio in total.) my parents never wrapped me in cotton wool and allowed to discover things myself the same as any other child. I am now a support worker for disabled people and am travelling the world next year with my loving partner, who fully accepts me and my Cp. x
Thank you every one
