My Twin daughter (20mths) Has been diognosed with diplegia which effects her lower limbs. Her twin sister is running, climbing and jumping everywhere, so is her older 3 year old sis. I feel so frustrated and helpless for her. Especially not knowing what the future holds. I try to stay positive and make sure she is involved with everything but I just want to know she will walk eventually. Any tips or just to know there is other mums in same situation wld be helpful x

Hi there, I have twin boys who are 2 next month. Ted has been diagnosed with hemiplegia and I'm in the same boat where has his twin is running, jumping, dancing. It is frustrating but the thing I love is how they look out for each other so much. They have there best friend with them all the way.0

It must be hard for you as a parent as you are seeing the comparison, but for your children, this is their norm. As @rayche45 says, they have their best friend with them all the way and that must be a really special thing!
