Blossoms I never dreamt that tender blossoms would be brown or precious angels could come down to live in the garden of my giving heart... but here you are brown angel -Walter Dean Myers Our family 1996 Kimberly 6 months Kimberly Noelle Born March 8 1996, Kim came to us not by stork but by airplane from Wash DC. She was met at the airport by her new family - Brenda, Steve, and big brother Myles. Grammy and Grandad were there too and as Myles says "Mom and Grammy were bawling and the men were taking pictures!". At birth she weighed 2 pounds 12 ounces and stayed in the hospital for 7 weeks to gain weight and then was in a foster home for about 3 weeks while our paperwork was processed. She was so tiny and slept a LOT! Little did we know how this beautiful baby would change all of our lives! Kimberly had been born 10 weeks premature and at her first pediatric visit the doctor said she didn't seem to have any of the common problems that preemies often face. We felt very blessed. Then at 6 months old Kim's eyes began crossing and she had the first of two surgeries to correct it. At this time mom began to have the feeling that there was more to come. After being assured by the doc's that she would "catch up in a couple of years" Kim was diagnosed at 15 months with Periventricular Leukomalacia. In her case the PVL also caused Cerebral Palsy. Since then we have learned, laughed, cried, and loved her more than we ever thought possible. She is teaching us what matters most in life.

Con nective Tissue Disorder Home Search Site Map ... Links Genetic Disorders The Links to Diet Read my Contents: Overview Genetic Disorders and Birth Defects Treatable Through Diet Prenatal Nutrition and Birth Defects Genetic Disorders, Birth Defects and Logic ... General Information on Genes, Nutrition and Disease Overview Many researchers and support groups state that birth defects and genetic disorders, especially connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , can't possibly be cured through diet because they are inherited genetic disorders. This conclusion is invalid simply because many birth defects and inherited genetic disorders have been found to be improved, or even cured, through diet. The old school of thinking that a birth defect or inherited disorder had to be caused by a single gene is no longer widely held in medical circles. The breakthrough concept in research is that many birth defects and inherited disorders are influenced by both genes and environmental factors, especially nutrition. Genes may make people susceptible to certain defects and disorders, but they are often only a part of the picture. "Genes are not necessarily destiny. They are influenced by the chemistry of what we consume." - article on

PDF version Jennifer's Story Jen was born 11 weeks early and weighed only 2½ pounds. The doctors were surprised to see what a strong, wiggly girl she was. But when Jen was just a few days old, she stopped breathing and was put on a ventilator. After 24 hours she was able to breathe on her own again. The doctors did a lot of tests to find out what had happened, but they couldn't find anything wrong. The rest of Jen's time in the hospital was quiet, and after two months she was able to go home. Everyone thought she would be just fine. At home, Jen's mom noticed that Jen was really sloppy when she drank from her bottle. As the months went by, Jen's mom noticed other things she didn't remember seeing with Jen's older brother. At six months, Jen didn't hold her head up straight. She cried a lot and would go stiff with rage. When Jen went back for her six-month checkup, the doctor was concerned by what he saw and what Jen's mom told him. He suggested that Jen's mom take the little girl to a doctor who could look closely at Jen's development. Jen's mom took her to a developmental specialist who finally put a name to all the little things that hadn't seemed right with Jen cerebral palsy

NCBDDD Home Cerebral Palsy What Is Cerebral Palsy? How Common Is It? ... Click here to contact the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. What is cerebral palsy? Cerebral palsy refers to a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and to maintain balance and posture. It is due to a nonprogressive brain abnormality, which means that it does not get worse over time, though the exact symptoms can change over a person's lifetime. People with cerebral palsy have damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle tone. Muscle tone is the amount of resistance to movement in a muscle. It is what lets you keep your body in a certain posture or position. For example, it lets you sit up straight and keep your head up. Changes in muscle tone let you move. For example, to bring your hand to your face, the tone in your biceps muscle at the front of your arm must increase while the tone in the triceps muscle at the back of your arm must decrease. The tone in different muscle groups must be balanced for you to move smoothly. There are four main types of cerebral palsy - spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed.

It is played on a specially marked court, usually with a hard surface. The goal of the game is for players/teams to throw/bowl game balls so that they get them as close as possible to a special target ball. The game begins with a player throwing the white target ball onto the court. Opponents then take turns trying to throw/bowl their game balls as close as possible to the target ball. When the game balls have all been thrown, a referee determines the points awarded to individual or teams based on measurement of how near the game balls are to the target ball. Boccia is an official sport of the United States Cerebral Palsy Athletic Association (USCPAA), the Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA), and Special Olympics International (SOI). (see links below) There are two modified versions of boccia that are commonly played: Precision boccia and Special Olympic Boccia.

Welcome to the Cerebral Palsy Resource Center Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common causes of chronic childhood disability, with a frequency of 1.4 - 2.7% of live births. The prevalence of cerebral palsy has remained very stable for many years at this percentage. While the improved survival of extremely preterm infants may result in an increasing number of children with cerebral palsy, preemies constitute a small minority of the overall number of disabled children. About 10% of preemies born at less than 1000 grams will eventually be diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Estimates range from 17 - 60% of CP cases that have no known perinatal or neonatal etiology. Children who have mild motor impairment and who are suspected of cerebral palsy at one year of age are often free of motor symptoms by early school age. These children, however, are more likely to have other developmental problems, including mental retardation, learning disability, seizures, and speech problems than those with no early motor problems. Early identification and treatment of cerebral palsy and/or other related developmental problems may stabilize the impairment and reduce associated disability. ( Overview by Dr. Sheena Carter
