I'm so sorry to hear your boys have CP. It must have been a shock if you didnt suspect it.
Have they been referred for physio as the more help they get now and support for you, the better chance they have of taking those first steps.
With determination, they will be able to do anything they want and make you just as proud. I have grown up with a dad who has CP and everyone that knows him are full of admiration. i'm so proud of him.
My grandmother's tip would be to massage their muscles as much as you can.
Good luck,

Its one of the illnesses/disabilities the consultant has pre-warned us might be a possibility. I hope it turns out to be less worrying than it sounds. You hear a name of something & think the worst.
I'm thinking of you x
So glad you are getting lots on help, input and equipment tho as the earlier the better!!!
Hope it continues well
