Hello

My almost 2 year old daughter (born 10 weeks early) was diagnosed with mild diplegia CP this week. I am devastated even though I knew it was coming.

Anyone else have a mildly affected child? Would love to talk to others in the same position.

Thanks

Katie

    Hello @KTaylor
    Good to meet you. As my colleague Liam has said receiving a diagnosis is a very emotional time for you and your family. It is important that you give yourself time to adjust and know what you are feeling is a completely normal reaction to the news.
    I will include some links to some information that I feel will be of use.
