History

My Twin sister and I were born at 27 weeks or almost 3 months premature. We were born in North Carolina and were in the hospital 80 days. This in essence is the beginning of me, of my story. Not many months later I was diagnosed with CP and so begin the battle. Many doctors told my parents I would never walk and therapy is just something parents do to make themselves feel better. Today and everyday I prove those people wrong just by getting up and working through life.

I decided to write this because I was inspired and saddened by some of the negative things on the internet regarding CP. Its true not everyone can walk or talk some have more significant CP than me and some people are not as affected with CP. This is one of the problems I have with CP. Its hard to find people with CP that I can talk to because there CP does not affect their mobility or in wheelchairs.


Today is a new day and I hope to fix that very soon. I have been asked to talk to parents about my problems and the wonderful things that have happened to me. I want to show them that their kids have all the possibilities in the world with the right support. To this end I hope to show this in my future blogs.
