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.

    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!

    Hey, I know how you feel I have twins and my daughter is running around from room to room and Ethan is always getting left behind or on his own, he has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, how do you find your other twin with the one who has cp?
