Well that's it really - I am completely devastated and not really functioning because it is all I can think about.
We always knew it was a strong possibility but pushed it to the back of our minds, but now, just short if her first birthday we have been told that yes she is showing symptoms so now we will start off on tests and assessments etc and who knows how badly she will be affected?
I just feel so sad for her - I don't want a baby with CP or anything else, I want my little girl to be perfect and I can't bear thinking about how her life might turn out if she isn't normal. Sorry if my language is not very PC but this is how I feel - this is how other people will look at her and what they will be thinking. I don't want her to be the girl everyone stares at or feels sorry for or laughs at because she can't walk properly. And how am I supposed to go on now just waiting to see how else it might manifest itself? OK now it's her legs, but what else might not be working as it should be?
I am just so very sad.
