Close Cerebral Palsy

My wife and I are raising a little guy with CP (both due to his "parents" excessive drug use and utterly irredeemable nature} He just turned 3, he's doing very well. Lots of support from Shriner's and he's had 4 therapists for the last couple years.

Treatments

Hippotherapy Too Soon to Tell

Only had the opportunity once. Cost was the factor, it's not supported here, he seemed to respond very well but we've moved on for the time being.

Botulin Toxin Working / Worked

First session was 10 shots, 2 per calf on both sides, 2 per thigh both sides, and one in each forearm for his wrists. Very noticeable difference within a day. He could side-sit easily, could sit with legs in front and extended for an extended period, and his heels were much closer to the floor when walking (using his walker). Next treatment will be in another 2 months, hopefully we can get him to stand up by then!
