Question for the group on siblings
First of all thank you all for all the info shared here. New parent to baby with hypertonia in both legs and tension in her back and neck. I’m scared is an understatement. The past week has been full of grief but all the wonderful posts and comments here have helped. I mostly just don’t want my baby to have pain. Now or ever. And I know I can’t control that. So we’re just going step by step. Giving her all the love and attention we can give her and in this past week she’s already improved a bit with the PT we’ve been doing.
So I have a million questions and not sure where to start. So I’ll just ask the first one. For those of you that are parents and your baby has cp, did you have additional kids afterward, how was that experience? We have previously wanted two kids but now with our baby we don’t want to take our focus off of her to give her the best possible life she can have. But also we were talking about sibling maybe being a friend she can have for life.
For those with cp, do you have a sibling- how is your relationship. If you didn’t have one did you wish you had one?
Thank you all for all the encouraging words you give each other. It has helped this parent through an incredibly painful time as we go through the acceptance process that our baby might have life long pain and other difficulties.
