Aaron's story
Hi, my name
is Shelly and I have a 4 year old with CP.His name is Aaron and he is the
most beautiful little boy in the whole world. There really isn't a story
to tell about Aaron. My pregnancy was perfectly normal. I was induced
when I was 2 weeks overdue and my delivery was pretty normal.
Aaron was
a 10 lb. baby boy. I started to notice things, I think, at about
4 months old. Aaron is currently in school and has been since he was about
2 years old. He gets physical and occupational therapy 2 times a week for
about 45 minutes each time. He goes to school 4 days a week for about
2 hours a day as he tires out very easily. Aaron is very severe physically
but very much above average mentally. He cannot walk, talk, sit on his
own, has very little head control and no trunk control but he is as sharp
as a whip. He is in a wheel chair. He doesn't eat solid foods as
he cannot chew and does not have the tongue movement. He is basically
on Pediasure (sucks it out of a bottle) and I am working on baby foods
out of a bottle.
Aaron's story writen by Shelly Harris,
Aaron's mom.
