30.07.2009 Keva can Walk now :)

Keva, my little 3 year old daughter, has what is termed medically 'Spastic Diplegia' - a form of Cerebral Palsy common in premature babies - and has to wear orthotic 'shoes' in order to try and correct the shortness of her leg muscles. We were told recently that Keva has been accepted for Botox treatment and that we could realistically expect that Keva would be walking by age six. But now, with her trolley and her custom made orthotics, she is unstoppable! Yay Keva! I am so proud of you my little Princess. You are amazing x

use any orthotic shoes..Her dr. told us to have a botox injection so she could catch up with her age. I would like to ask if Keva was receiving botox because I'm hesitant to give it to my daughter because of the side effect it might give...pls help me...thank you and God bless!

She looks wonderful! My daughter, Lizzie, has mixed diplegia and just turned 4. She is now taking more independent steps each day. Keep working on it; it happens quickly.

She's beautiful and a graceful little walker!
