I hope to use this blog to document the events in my life raising my beautiful daughter who was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and her twin sister who was diagnosed with Digeorge Syndrome. I hope to be able to help others and also receive valuable information from other parents that have been through a similar experience.

Wishlist-17 months old
I feel very guilty sometimes because it is very difficult for Sophie to play like a typical 17 month old baby. For any type of play activity we do with Sophie we have to be 100% involved to make sure she is safe. She has to be held all the time whether she is sitting or standing. I have been doing research trying to find things we can do with her for fun. Going to the playground is always an option, but again it is a 100% hands on activity.
I came up with this wishlist of things that we need to make Sophie's day more enjoyable and active.
-Free concepts bike- this is a therapeutic trycicle made for children that have cp. She would benefit so much from it because it would help her with much needed muscle work in her legs.

-Music together music lessons- this would be not only a fun activity that will enrich her growth but also help her use her hands and keep those muscles active by leraning to play music instruments.
-Bath chair- As she grows slowly but surely, Sophie can no longer fit in her infant bathtub. Bathing her in the big bathtub is out of the question as she cannot hold herself in a sitting position.
I will continue to add items and ideas as I am able to find them.
