LIVING WITH FAITH: Today IS the day!!!!!!!!!!!! God's day!

About Faith's type of Cerebral Palsy

Spastic diplegia, historically known as Little's Disease, is a form of cerebral palsy (CP) that is a neuromuscular condition of hypertonia and spasticity in the muscles of the lower extremities of the human body, usually those of the legs, hips and pelvis. Doctor William John Little's first recorded encounter with cerebral palsy is reported to have been among children who displayed signs of spastic diplegia.
This condition is by far the most common type of CP, occurring in almost 70% of all cases.

Today IS the day!!!!!!!!!!!! God's day!

Hello? Is anyone out there? Hello?

Tell all your friends to come to THIS blog.....today!

Today....a miracle happened....

Something that so many doctors said would never happen!

Something I was afraid to hope for.....

Something that I waited seven long years for....

Are you ready?

Today....

Faith walked!

Yes you heard it hear folks!

She walked six....count them six steps ALL by herself!

No hands or walkers to help her!

SIX PERFECT STEPS!

To the chair, twice!

Alllllllllll by herself!

I must say it was a lack of faith on my part...to allow myself to hope that one day she would do it without any help...just too much.
But TODAY...GOD showed everyone!

Thank you Father for Your perfect timing!

Thank you for showing me that I need to have more faith in YOU and in Faith!

Please join me today in thanking GOD for our miracles....each and every one!

Tell everyone you know about this miracle, please!

Our latest diagnosis count

1. Blood clot in brain w/ possible protein c and s def.- birth
2. Seizures/Epilepsy: apneac, partial complex, tonic- since
birth
3. Cerebral palsy- 5 mo.
4. Craniosynostosis- 7 mo.
5. Perventricular leukomalacia- shortly after birth
6. Feeding disorder- since birth
7. Global developmental delays- 1 yr
8. Receptive/Expressive language disorder- 1yr
9. Strabismus, Farsightedness- 1 yr

These are the major ones that I can think of, off the top of my head. Probably some more smaller ones, I forgot. Interesting.
