Preemie Baby & Cerberal Palsy

Three months after Cameron came home he was diagnosed with Cerberal Palsy (CP). This disorder affects the brain that effects one's motor skills. Preemies are at high risk to have this disorder because they are born early, some of their organs will not fully develop. For Cameron it was his right side of his brain which effect his left side of his body. For mor information about how this disorder detected, please see http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cerebralpalsy.html website. We were fortunate that Cameron was diagnosed at an early age. We were able to have him start physical therapy early in his life. Before he started to walk we were told that he should have a orthopedic brace made for his left leg. This brace helps his leg muscules for stiffening, which is one of the side effects of CP.
