I also have bgg born at 27 weeks. At their first birthday Jazi was almost walking, Karissa was crawling/pulling to stand...Noah couldn't even sit alone. We received his CP diagnosis at about 10 months so we already knew what we were dealing with.

Many doctors are reluctant to give a CP diagnosis until about 2 years of age. But with Noah's risk factors (Grade II brain bleed and PVL) it was a pretty easy diagnosis to make.

My triplets are now 6 and Noah can sit indepently, combat crawl and walk with a walker for short distances. He is a wonderful child that brings joys to everyone who meets him.

CP is a tough diagnosis to hear but I can tell you from experience that it's not the end of the world. Please let me know if I can answer any questions...
