Hi Alf
Yes Cerebral Palsy - as you know is a generic label for a great many
conditions.
In my sons's case it has been identified as Leigh's Disease. He is 15yo and
just made it to 22Kg weight - not a good combination. We were told by a
neurologist (he had been comparing past and current MRI brain images) that
whatever we do for him is strictly palliative, ie a terminal condition - we
have been fortunate to get him this far. We have had a couple of close calls
over the years.
Nothing wrong with his intellect as far as we know - he is locked into a
body that won't do what he wants it to do. He loves Power Ranger,
Transformers, YuGiHo (one of the current "strange" kids cartoon series). He
enjoys flying as much as his old man :-

Pls ignore the ugly old coot with the grey beard - Craig was pretty tired
at the time, but was really enjoying the flight.
Cheers for now
