His mother was the first to notice that everything was not quite right. After several weeks of difficulties with breastfeeding, she detected a minor flaw which the experts passed off as a paranoid mother’s imagination working overtime.  After all, he looked normal.  There was no indication of the monster lurking within, but it was there, that little something, a weakness on the right side.

“Cerebral Palsy, right side hemiplegia, a classic case”.  A sentence I had never heard before, but now it was our son’s life – our lives. He later manifested temporal lobe epilepsy and began to seizure regularly – as if CP wasn’t enough!
