My younger brother was diagnosed with severe cerebral palsy due to lack of oxygen in his brains and this was because of hospital negligence. I was 7 at that time and just remember that my parents were going through a hard time dealing with legal issues and my brother's condition (this was back in the 90s).

You sir, are a hero for trying to take care of your daughter as best you can and trying to give her a normal life.
Don't ever give up on her!
I have mild CP myself, which has caused me to have some mobility problems, an abnormal gait and nearsightedness since birth. I was also born with my feet bent inward, had to wear braces when i was a kid and had to undergo surgery at the ages of 16 and 17, so that the doctors could straighten my feet.
Don't listen to a soul about life expectancy. My daughter is much like Emma. She is 12. Only God can decide when it is somebody's time to rejoin him. Enjoy every moment with Emma but don't count the days. They can be much longer than you think! Believe it!
yes, in hevean emma, me and others will be queens and kings but now we have to work a little bit extra so that god will give us that gift. so this is just temporary.
Anyone can google, cerebral palsy life expectancy, to see the current literature on this subject. The results are predictable. For mild to moderate CP, life expectancy is at or near normal but a whole different matter for the severest cases of CP.

My sister also had severe CP and was much like Emma is. Emma is just precious, by the way.
