Excercise and Cerebral Palsy CLOSED

1. Babies with Cerebral palsy are different from babies without cerebral palsy.   one difference is that babies born with cerebral palsy have limited movements compared to a baby born without cerebral palsy.   i can definitely tell the difference between audrianna as a baby and charlee.  Charlee is constantly moving her hands, feet, always looking around and wiggling.   Audrianna didn't move around have as much, Charlee sleeps in the fetal position and loves to be held that way where Audriannas legs and arms were too stiff to do that.   because of this limited movement exercise is very important to avoid contractures, or joint limitations. to prevent these things from happening to audrianna we work on different excercises and stretches.  We like to refer to this as princess audriannas ballet time.   Duringher ballet time we work on weight bearing on her legs which helps preent bone loss.  It also helps her build strength for when she may walk in the future.  We also work on different range of motion excercises and we work on her balance.  Audrianna has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy so all 4 limbs are affected her arms and legs are very tight.  the hightone in her legs caused her to walk on her toes we tried numerous procedures to alleviate this but none worked til she had surgery in march of 2010.  we went through Tufts floating childrens hospital in boston.  where she underwent tendon release and lengthening.  the procedure was a complete sucess and she now stands with her feet flat on the ground.  But we still refer to her as our princess ballerina.  Stretching and exercises are even more important now to prevent her tone from getting bad again and her results from surgery reversing.

Too TuTu Cute   Tutu review and giveaway

Audrianna was so excited to open the mailbox and see a package that mommy said was just for her.  We opened the package and inside it was the prettiest, fluffiest and really soft TuTu we had ever seen.  Nothing beats seeing the smile that was on her face.  She instantly wanted to put it on and of course we  did.  And audrianna wore it all day.   she even wanted to sleep in it.   Rachel was a wonderful women to work with and answered all questions.  I loved that she was able to make a tutu in the color choices I wanted.  The craftmanship of the tutu was fantastic I have made tutus before and I dont think I could have made one that good.  The tutu was flawless.   Audrianna has decided that she wants to wear it for halloween she also wants to wear it everyday.  so thank you Rachel for making Audrianna so very happy.
