Cerebral Palsy Awareness- Guest post 2

CP

Wow, I’ve totally hopped off the bandwagon! Don’t worry, there are a bunch of posts for me to catch up on! We went from stomach flu to March break to head cold here! Never a dull moment!
Today, we hear from Tracy who blogs at Trousdell Five!

1. Tell me about yourself (and your family!)

Cerebral Palsy Awareness: Change up!

CP

I have not forgotten about my awesome guest posts! It’s been an eventful week here. First, my laptop bit the dust. Then Adam and I got the stomach flu from our awesome school aged daughter.  There really ought to be a rule that both parents can’t be sick at the same time! So, instead of [...]

Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month- Guest Post #1

cherylscpbuttondraft

To say that I’m excited to host a month of interviews from people with cerebral palsy,  plus parents of children with cerebral palsy would be a little bit of an understatement! The reason I title this month awareness is because I have received many ridiculous statements before…Example: “Well, she doesn’t look mental” Through these posts, [...]

A River Called Guilt Runs Through It

Today, for something completely different… I’m usually quite upbeat and positive about our journey with CP.  I received one of my interviews back last night. And she was concerned that her post was negative, or too emotional. I had to explain that we’ve ALL been here before. We’ve walked this line. With my new found [...]

Bring it ON- CP!

CP

 
It’s March 1st and I’m here to welcome you all to the first post of CP Awareness for 2012! I am so super excited to share some interviews with other parents and people that deal with cerebral palsy, everyday.

Yay for March!

If you’re new around here, I’m letting you in on a little secret. 2 days early- yay for leap years! Try explaining that to your 5 year old, promptly explaining “Ask Daddy” I think he should be glad I’m not telling her to ask about anything else. That’ll come when we’re closer to teenage hood.

And Then She Went To Public School

CP

Confused yet? Lauren already goes to public school. However, the last few days have been trying. A little mis-communication between myself, our old physician in Nova Scotia and the lack of a family doctor for Lauren here in Ontario landed her suspended from school today. On Valentine’s Day. The day she had been waiting for [...]

A Botox Update!

CP

Oh Botox. My love/hate relationship with you continues. If you’ve been following our Botox saga (found here and here) we have a small update.
Jillian’s next appointment for Botox injections will be on February 15 at the Hospital For Sick Children under conscious sedation. Good news, right? Well, I’m not exactly jumping for joy yet.
In a [...]

A Cerebral Palsy Update

CP

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I haven’t talked much about CP around these parts lately. It’s not that I don’t WANT to, it’s that I try to paint this pretty little persona that I have everything under control, or that I complain waaaaaaay too much on my blog (I’ve been told that I don’t [...]

Cerebral Palsy and Botox

CP

If you’ve visited here a lot, you might remember my ongoing battle with our insurance company, Manulife Financial regarding Botox injections to ease spasticity in children with Cerebral Palsy. During this extremely lengthy time, I have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty fabulous people. Keeping me going, motivating, celebrating, it’s fabulous really. Recently, a [...]
