Baby got diagnosed with CP. worried.

I’m very worried. My baby’s MRI was pretty bad with global damage. He is 6 months old. He can lift his head during tummy time, roll from belly to back, coos, starting to babble, smiles sometimes but it’s more like a screech, can bottle feed and is starting purées, not much eye contact, he isn’t reaching for toys and doesn’t put his hands in his mouth HE HATES SITTING and goes into extensor tone where he straightens out his whole body. He relaxes if we’re sitting outside though and is not stiff when he’s sleeping. Any advice on breaking the extensor tone? Will he be able to walk? Talk? Can’t find much research where a baby has strong extensor tone. I’m grieving a life I imagined.
