Teen Cerebral Palsy Help
Hello all,
Wow for those of you who have contacted me, thank you!! I love being able to talk about our experiences with you, it’s so special what we share 
Please, don’t feel afraid to speak up about anything that bothers you…I feel that talking is one of the best ways to cope with problems! Also, if you recieved a message/email through facebook/myspace about my blog from Greg Greiner…he is my good friend who is behind the creation of this blog! Don’t be alarmed, he is just as immersed in helping my cause as I am
I just spoke with one of the people behind the CP Research Foundation, and she told me that we need to advocate for more involvement in CP research to help kids like us! So if you have any ideas at all about how to spread awareness, let me know and I’ll pass it on to her the website is www.cpirf.org
So I was wondering…what keeps you guys going through the day? Is there anyone that has helped you deal with your CP? I am a lucky one, I have an identical twin sister, Sara and although she does not have CP she always watches out for me whenever I need her.
Last thing…has anyone tried out yoga? It is a relaxing and fun way to stretch those tight muscles! Whenever I do you I feel great because I know I am helping my body. I started doing yoga once I stopped doing physical therapy, it was great! I was about 12 years old and didn’t know any better about how much of a mistake it was to quit PT haha….but I just started therapy back up again because not stretching was really hard on my body. =/ It’s been good so far, I am wearing a night brace to stretch and I am going to do serial casting in the fall, where for 6 weeks I will be in a few different casts with each time becoming more annd more stretched out. I know it’ll all be worth it in the end when I am older! What about you? Have you had any surgeries, botox injections, worn braces, wheelchairs etc..??
TGIF!!!
Stay happy and healthy
-Katy
