This is my beautiful daughter Brooklyn. She is three years old and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. As a mother of a child with a disability, I know in my heart that I would do ANYTHING, yes ANYTHING to help improve her condition. Our journey to get her where she is today, walking in this picture, was long. I fought for answers to my questions, and no one could answer them. As a baby she cried and cried, and I was only 18 years old when she was born, so her pediatrician didnt believe me that her crying was so bad. She replied to me " thats what babies do, they cry". I was so frustrated that she was a doctor and was supposed to give me answers, and she didnt. Month after month I kept telling her doctor, something is wrong, I know something is wrong because she isnt even rolling over (not to mention the crying continued). The doctors words were harsh, "She will do it when she is ready, all babies do these things when they are ready". I finally switched doctors when Brooklyn was a year and a half. They sent us to a specialist. Lots of tests were ran. She had blood draws, an MRI, and therapy evaluations. But the only thing they discovered was part of her brain was damaged. So she got a diagnosis of CP. And that was it. No answers again. Not why it happened, not when it happened, not anything. Just because they ruled out everything else, they diagnosed her with CP. It was like a "last resort" to me. Brooklyn was receiving therapy, and we had to switch therapists too. Her first one just wanted to dress her and change her diaper. Finally the new therapist was helping. In the midst of all this I had another child, another girl, Kassidee. Kassidee is 19months younger than Brooklyn. As Kassidee started to accomplish all of her milestones on time, Brooklyn wanted to follow. Her ambition was CRAZY. Anything Kassidee did, Brooklyn tried. I believe Brooklyn is better today not only becuase of her therapists, but because of her sister. Brooklyn's journey isnt over. I have tried to get her disability money. Once they determined that she is disabled they took our income into consideration. And then we hit another BRICK WALL. Now over government wont give my daughter money to help with her care because her dad makes too much money. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? He only makes $15 an hour. And we are a family of five, yes we had another child. And we own our house and we pay our bills and we dont make a lot of money. But they dont factor your bills in. Crazy to me. Im so frustrated. How could the government say sorry you make to much money, when my daughter is DISABLED regardless of how much money her dad makes. She still has doctor bills and medicines, and no we receive NO help from the government.  I dont think our journey will ever come to an end. Brooklyn is doing so much better now. She walks with her walker and attends special needs preschool. Again Im frustrated because the school system will only provide her with 20 minutes of therapy a WEEK, ugh. Some people would want to give up, but I cant. Not for Brooklyn. She deserves THE BEST care she can get. And you dont have any idea how many people have told me, "but she looks so normal". Well she isnt and dont say that she doesnt know what it is like to be anything but what she is because SHE DOES. She watches her sisters grow everyday and her struggle continues everyday, she knows that she cant do the things that her sisters do. But she is very ambitous, and I  know she will contnue to do better! I love her so much and I wouldnt have her any other way!!!
