About Me
I'm a mother of two, work full time (computer programmer analyst) and married for 9 years. I found this site when looking for info on CP involving heel cord & hamstring lengthening. Currently, left arm restraint (goal of 3 hr per day) so only his right arm will be functionable...and greatly improve.

My 8 yr old has been in OT/PT since 5 months of age. He has been under the care of a neurologist until Spring, 2005, then cared for by a physiatrist (doctor of physical therapy; excellent, by the way). After 3 sets of Botox in arm & leg, the heel cord & hamstring needed surgery (June,2008). He's doing VERY well recovering.
