The foot defect has been since birth. This CP has been getting worse in old age with the seizures happening more often and being more severe when they do happen. I take more medications for the CP now.Stephen N.

In her case, it would have been the result of oxygen deprivation at birth- we avoided the brain bleed thing narrowly.<br /><br />Even though it was a possible dx for us, I've never really understood exactly what it is. I really appreciate you for taking the time to explain.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15300459671364768442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170961025944146154.post-70819017883196053522010-06-27T09:14:34.504-07:002010-06-27T09:14:34.504-07:00Chelsie his feet are deformed from the tightness w...Chelsie his feet are deformed from the tightness which has caused how he stands and walks which then bothers the foot deformation. So it is a little of both. Most of it is just the muscle tone. They didn't start out like that. <br /><br />No it doesn't plateau. With no therapy it will get tighter and tighter. We also stretch him at night. With out the stretching it also helps.

I'm not sure what kind Jason has but he can't get his heels to touch the floor without spreading his legs out wide. He is always walking on his tippy-toes and his feet are severly deformed. My brother also had a hard time with his appetite, he is a lazy eater. He was in his late 20's beforeAmberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03377082842567379654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170961025944146154.post-54939790840724070762010-06-26T22:15:28.013-07:002010-06-26T22:15:28.013-07:00Lots of good info!

Couple of questions:<br /><br />Are the bones in Ty's feet deformed because of the tightness in his foot muscles or is it from something else and exacerbated by the muscle tightness?<br /><br />If left untreated, does the tightness get tighter and tighter indefinitely, or does it plateau? I know he gets shots and that those help for a time. Do they wear off (meaning the CWYounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737496071101190456noreply@blogger.com
