It's Nice Here .....
"TACAN" wrote in message ... Hi Alf Yes Cerebral Palsy - as you know is a generic label for a great many conditions. In my sons's case it has been identified as Leigh's Disease. He is 15yo and just made it to 22Kg weight - not a good combination. We were told by a neurologist (he had been comparing past and current MRI brain images) that whatever we do for him is strictly palliative, ie a terminal condition - we have been fortunate to get him this far. We have had a couple of close calls over the years. Nothing wrong with his intellect as far as we know - he is locked into a body that won't do what he wants it to do. He loves Power Ranger, Transformers, YuGiHo (one of the current "strange" kids cartoon series). He enjoys flying as much as his old man :- http://jens.meinecke.net.au/AngelFlight/AF41.1110/ http://jens.meinecke.net.au/AngelFlight/AF08.209/ Pls ignore the ugly old coot with the grey beard - Craig was pretty tired at the time, but was really enjoying the flight. Cheers for now Graham Here's a couple of shots of the kid we adopted who also has Cerebral Palsy. We lost a 19yr. old in an automobile accident in 1985 and the grief nearly killed us.. We had 2 choices with this child, either adopt him or go to his funeral as his birth mother has 'addictive problems' and was neglecting him.. We chose adoption knowing that we couldn't take another funeral and caring for the boy brought my wife through the grief over the loss of our youngest. He was 3 when we started baby-sitting him and he is 19 now and mentally maybe 12. He is a joy in our lives and keeps us young. In Mexico they called him a 'bendición'(blessing) and he certainly has been one in our lives.. The 'Superman' shot is at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, right after we left Mexico. Another "ugly old coot with the grey beard" with him at Orlando. He enjoys touring museums with me and posing around the planes. Happy New Year to all who read this. Bill Brown & Michael.... |
