Hi Krystal,
My daughter was born at 32 weeks with additional complications, but
she also has a diagnosis of CP. She is now 5 years old and is doing
very well considering her limitations. My suggestion is to get very
involved in the early intervention program. My daughter had PT OT
and speech when she was only several months old and it made a huge
difference. They are also great resource people and can hook you up
with other people in the same boat.
