Hello ya'll, I just wanted to get some feedback about botox injections. My lil girl (3 yrs old) is pending her first set of botox injection in her legs. She had mild diplegia CP and I was told by the doctor that botox would be benefit her. Has any one or a parent with a child ever had botox injections? If so, what was your outcome? How did it work for you? How many times did you have to get it till you actually see some kind of improvement? And any tips on what I can do to help her after her botox injections to enhance her mobility (she currently gets around with a walker/cruising along walls & furniture and crawling). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

" I'm getting my first injection on the 19th. I'm let you guys know how I make out. Might be getting up to 5 injections over a time span of months.

I'm only going to try it once though. "
