Hi, my name is Angela and I am the mother of 4 active boys, ages 6,4,27 months, and 8 months, with my youngest having CP, from what the MD's believe is from a placental abruption at birth. We have known since about 3 months old he was not reaching milestones but now we are actively seeking treatment after waiting a few months to see if he would catch up, per the pediatrician. He is athetoid/spastic quad. He can hold his head up, he can smile and chew and kick, but he cannot sit up, cannot crawl, does alot of hand writhing and tongue thrusting, and has spasms of the arms/legs, and has a wandering right eye. His cognition so far appears age appropriate. My second youngest, who is 27 months old, has mild kernictus from severe jaundice, but that's a story for another day! I am wondering if stem cells might help him as well...anyways, we have been narrowing down our treatment options for stem therapy and have been considering Dr. F in FL with his Lima, Peru clinic and Dr. Ramirez in Mexico, so would any of you have any advice on which one would be the better option? We have found this site invaluable and really appreciate all the info posted on here. I just wanted to say hi and again thank you so much for everything each of you has contributed!
