Heidi,
Don't get on a guilt trip about your son. Any combination of factors might have led to him getting c.p. if it is c.p. Did you have the same factors with the 4.5 year old as you did with the 13 month? If you did, the disability is not your fault. Society thinks disability is unnatural, but is it? I believe it isn't, and I think Kendall and others on here would agree. Society has made things difficult for us.

>Sorry Kendall- somewhat distracted. I've just signed up. I'm a mom of two boys- 41/2 and 13 months. Our physician suspects a neurological problem with our 13 month old due to delays and some gagging issues. Of course, now I look back on my pregnancy and see every possible reason or cause (the asthma, the GD, etc.) and have lots of guilt. Will go the the CP clinic in October, in the mean time we are getting county assessments and most likely PT. Thank you for the link- I was very interested in a picture also but will just wait to see the MD before I start self-diagnosing here.
