Hi Shelley-
I'm Lori and your post caught my eye as I was treated by Dr. Dabney for 16 years. I have left-sided hemiplegia, and he performed 3 surgeries on me. I was released from duPont this summer because I turned 21. I know see Dr. MaryAnn Keenan at the University of Pennsylvania, which he refers most, if not all his patuents to once they turn 21. I'm in college studying Animal Science and I hope to get an internship in biomedical research at Nemours this summer.
My mom mentioned to me she wishes we could still go down there versus Penn, since we got so used to it (been there 20 + times in the past 2 years). We are also very friendly with his secretary and hope to catch up sometime with her.
That's pretty amazing what orthopedists can do and I'm glad your son bebefited from it.

WHAT CAUSES DEATH IN C-P PEOPLE ...WHAT I UNDERSTAND MANT THINGS IT DEPENDS ON THE HEALTH THE INDIVIDUL. SOMETIMES ORGANS FAILURE, RESPERITORY PROBLEMS,A FEW THINGS..IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE PERSON GET AROUND.THE LEAST THEY GET AROUND THE WORST IT IS FOR THEM. KEEP THEM BUSY AND UP..HOPE THIS HELPS SHELLEY GARTON

My son Austin is 12 and has severe CP and boy has he gone through alot. We have gone through many procedures to try and make him better & more comfortable including cell injections,reflexology and oxygen treatments. Within the past 2 years he has had to have a testicle removed because it didn't drop and is not good to leave there and he had rods put in his back last year to straighten his spine which was extremely curved.
We are currently going through Botox to loosen his muscles in his legs and next we will move to his hands.
Has anyone done botox for this? I have been seeing stories lately about respiratory problem causing death from botox. Getting a little nervous.

Hi Shelly...Just saw your post about your childs legs and the great Dr. If you wouldnt mind I would like to speak with you. My son is 12 yrs. old and has CP. To date he has had about 81 different surgeries and we have had a horrible time with his left leg. We are desperate at this point. He is miserable and I cant stand to see him in so much pain and becoming overwhelmingly depressed. Please if you can find the time...I would greatly appreciate talking to yoy more about this. my email is mceverage@woh.rr.com
Thank you

Hi everyone,

I thought I would stop in and let you all know about a daily blog about cerebral palsy. It's www.cerebral-palsy-information.com . It is so great to see people coming together to exchange information about CP and how it affects lives.

Best,

Jeff

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Sagittarius

Relationships have been going through through testing times since the Solar Eclipse at last month's New Moon in Gemini on May 20. Events may force you to reevaluate the state of a partnership. You may even decide that you need to make some major adjustments if things are to carry on as you would like. During the coming fortnight leading up to the rare second New Moon in Gemini, this may feel like a crisis, but that doesn't mean you should abandon all hope or throw out the baby with the bathwater.
