i think i was logged in on someone's account, not mine(?)when i commented on Holly's video. My comment starts with my daughter is 17 now... sorry if this comes up on someone's account.

Thanks, Thats ok, I'll put it here; My daughter is 17 now, but these videos of Holly look like our home movies. Tell Holly to keep going! Its a lot of work but really worth it. And to Ian, bravo for working outside of the box!! My daughter and I returned from treking the Incan Trail to Machu Picchu a few months ago. She decided she would do something impossible. She did and keeps on proving that 'Anything Is Possible.'

Hi There Tiffany, yes I have seen bladder control issues, I will email you to discuss further. I have observed that some circumstances that the automated control of some component of bladder bowel function appears to have a Cerebellar component. Also In 2010 there was a study by Zago et al called: “Cerebellar pathology and micturitional disorders: anatomotopographic and functional correlations”. This showed a link between the cerebellum and bladder control.

My daughter has unilateral hypoplasia of the cerebellum. She will be 4 this June and still has balance issues. She had strabismus surgery and shortly after began to walk when she was 2. My question is if you have seen delays with bowel and bladder control/ potty training. We have tried all of the traditional methods of training to no avail. So I am wondering if the cerebellum is responsible for muscle control, could this too be affected? We do not see any specialists for this other than a neuro
