Thank you for sharing this very powerful video. Our daughter suffered a stroke before birth and went undiagnosed for 11 months. She was also denied treatment until this point. She was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and suffers epileptic seizures. She wears braces and receives PT, OT and ST. Until this past year she was completely non-verbal, but she has just been able to say MAMA! What a wonderful sound to our ears! It pains us to know that she could be so much further if they had just diagnosed her earlier. But we continue to count our blessings each day and continue to be her cheerleaders! Again thank you for such a powerful video and I will be sure to do our part and forward it to all we know to help bring awareness to all. Good luck and God Bless!
