Hello Collette @Misscollette and a very warm welcome to the community. I am very glad you found us.
CP was one of the many conditions that my late daughter suffered from (she passed away, long ago, in 1991 as a result of a different, more dangerous condition) related to her microcephally. Through my daughter I met many, many people whose children had CP, and they - children and parents - were beautiful people. So I'm here to talk if you wish to, and to answer any questions I can. You are very much among friends here, so please don't hesitate to tell us or ask us anything that might help us find ways to help and support you.
This is a link to the cerebral palsy discussion forum, which you might like to have a look at https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/physical-impairments-and-cerebral-palsy and here is a link to the parents and carers thread https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/carers-of-disabled-children-and-adults I'm also going to 'name drop' here a gentleman who is a specialist advisor on CP and who will certainly be in touch with you in due course @speedincaesar
Please do keep in touch,
Warmest best wishes to you and your daughter,
