What I learned from VH1 tonight

[Problem Child]

There are only 6500 children born with cerebral palsy (a non-genetically transmitted disease) in the the U.S. each year.

Neil Young has had two children with cerebral palsy with two different women.

You'd think God would be a little more original than that.

For real?

 

[Problem Child]

Like I could make something like that up? Yes, for real.

Nel Young also bought the Lionel Train Co. because his son liked model rains. The odds of him having two kids with CP - hard to believe.

Everyone has their cross to bear.

A lot of times when doctors don't seem to know what is really wrong...the use the term cerebral palsy. It seems to be a blanket term.... My sister and nephew both have this. I think that my sister actually has FAS..Fetal Alcohol Syndrome but due to whatever reason my mother won't tell the doctors that she drank quite a bit while she was pregnant. So, she has CP... or so they say.

The nephew I have has classic cp...but now has a younger brother that may have some sort of autism... which apparently there are numerous stages of.
