It’s one thing to receive a diagnosis and a whole other to live it. NICU mom Katrina Moline shares how cerebral palsy has, and has not, affected their daily life.
In this episode, we chat about:
What is Cerebral Palsy (CP)?
For children/babies who have CP what are some of the symptoms, developmental challenges?
When you learned of the diagnosis, what did you do?
How has CP affected your daily family life? What has been the hardest adjustment?
How have you grown in the last 13 years since Bryce was diagnosed?
What's your favorite service that Hand to Hold offers parents and caregivers?
What’s your best advice to a mom, dad or caregiver whose child has just received a CP diagnosis?
