hello, i am new to this forum, but really nice see the views and discussion on this topic of cerebral palsy. I am a father of a 26 months old baby ANJALI . she is a premature baby and could not sit or roll or hold her neck by the age of 8 months. she often use to keep her head leaning on her left side. she was diagnosed as mild C P and spastic diepegia on lower limbs. We are in touch with pediartic neurologist and her physiotherapy is going on . She is being given a dose of PACITANE 2 mg 1/2 tablet thrice a day to reduce spasticity since last 18 months.
She started sitting on her own at 12 months as (W -SITTING), started crawling after 14 months , crawling on the stairs by 17 and standing by holding the things by 19 months . Now since last 5 months she is walking with support and is standing with support for one hour. playing some games at her standing position .
she is able to communicate for her needs. lke asks for her milk when she is hungry , her words are not very clear but ok. We have notice that very often saliva keeps on coming out of her mouth. she understands and knows about her belongings. I am very afraid about health as weither will be able to walk un assisted. and would be able to be independent and go to a normal school like other kids. This saliva coming out from her mouth also disturbs me a lot.
I am from india and and want to know weither physiotherapy is the only remedy for this disease or other therapies are really working in cerebral palsy . If anyone can suggest any proffesional hospitals in any part of the world where there is a proper analysis and treatment availble for my kid ar any one who has gone through the same situation as of mine. please help.
