ate a square centimetre of bread and butter and chewed it
She had trouble with the biting bit so we helped with that.
Maybe by her 4th birthday in a few weeks she could eat some cake.

On here helping Sabaidii:

Good job DD.

This is one advantadge to not having any health care. No one has ever said (doctors) that Sabaidii's kids would never or can't do something. This has given her hope and she does far more with her kids as a result. She is able to think outside the sn box, which a lot of parents can't do. She wants to move to England so her children can have a better life.

Do all of Sabaidii's 9 kids have cerebral palsy?
Armadillo, no offence to your dp, but that cake was rather chewy
I'm hoping that if dd chews and bites she will gain more mouth awareness and we may even get some speech. Right now she opens her mouth wide and vocalises so none resembles speech as she can't modulate it. We're brushing round her mouht and lips daily to 'wake' up those nerves and muscles and make pathways to her brain. Having no motor cortex is a bummer.
