DD Diagnosed with CP

heavensbug

Thanks for all your kind words.

We are just feeling our way along and coming to terms with it a bit at the moment.

I do the one thing I am good at which is throw myself into it and hassle people until we get the appointments we want.

We are getting there. Going to start looking at support groups etc as well soon. Visited a koala's yesterday as they were behind the place we went for DD's splints and it made me realise that there is the support out there.

Also found the site specialkidsintheuk.org (Not meant to be advertising). The people on their are fantastic and have certainly helped the wife out a lot.

Just one day at a time at the moment learning more every day.

Thanks again for the kind words and support. It is greatly appreciated.

Got another appointment with the Orthopedic guy who just sits, fiddles with DD's feet then sends us out the door.

So don't really know where to turn

You need to keep at these and try to get them to do something; other than fiddling with dd's feet.

You may find that if your daughter sees a different orthopedic, they may do something and actually help. (talking from experience here - nothing to do with CP; but being partially sighted)
