Hello everyone, my name is Cathy! I am a mom to Cheyenne.
Cheyenne was born at 28 weeks gestation due to an infection that I never showed signs of until after the delivery.
She spent 59days in the NICU.
She was diagnosed at day 28 in the NICU.
When she came home she was on oxygen, an apnea monitor, and an NG tube for most of her feedings.
She graduated to all bottle feedings at about 5 months. But we always had major problems with feedings. Finally at 11months we were scheduled for an feeding study- which showed that she was asperating 90% of all her feeds.
She got an g-button a few days later and is strictly NPO now. She has had the g-button for 11months now.
She has Spastic Quadraplegia Cerebral Palsy- it affects her whole body.
So far she has rolled from her stomach to her back, and smiled.
She is in an wheelchair. She cannot speak yet, and is not mobile on her own.
She has therapy 3 times a week from our local early intervention program!

I hope to get to know everyone on this board- as I have been looking for a place to go and talk to people who know what I am talking about!!

A 20 month old baby boy named Thomas Teng from Canada who is suffering from CP by a cord around his neck during birth delivery. He is very weak with his hands and legs and necks. He can not walk on his foot at all. He can crawl with his belly on bed during the first 20 moths.

In Dec 23 2008, the baby boy with his mother came to Hong Yuen Chinese Orthopdics Treatment Centre at Hong Kong for help & cure because the grandpa of the baby boy believed only traditional Chinese Manipulative Medicine Method can cure the CP for the baby boy.

The baby boy was taken 90 minutes traditional Chinese Manipulative Medicine Method treatment in one day, 3 days in one week by Dr. Ng. After 2 months treatment, the baby boy can crawl to run with his hand and foot. Now he can even stand and begin to walk on his own foot (with little help from his mother only). We trust the baby boy can walk and run by Aug, 2009. We will keep updated the treatment of the baby boy.
