HI Kathy,

   Well, I do an informational CP related topic each month - in lieu of the
questions that was raised last week by Beth - I posted a simple introduction
to CP for everyone who doesn't have it - there is much misconception about
it - I knew it was a diagnosis given only to children with brain damage
occuring around the natal to 18 month age range - generally not diagnosised
until around or after age 2. Amber who had a stroke at birth is said to have
CP and is a Right Hemi -  an older child or adult having a stroke would be
diagnosed with CVA. Same thing. The difference comes in - in the growing
process. Adult stroke victims suffer from the paralysis but not the growth
effects. Anyway, CP is a generic term  like Human or Cancer , don't tell you
much - therefore it confuses people - and generally evokes the worst case
scenerio - when we quantify the results by category - its much easier to
understand - like Amber is a Right  Hemi. Just saying she has CP - tells you
little about her. You have CP and so does Amber - yet it is very different.
