Tristan was born at 24 weeks
weighing 1 lb 5 ounces. He was born early because of twin-twin
transfusion. His identical twin Mason died at 10 days old. Tristan did
great in the hospital and came home when he was 3 months old. We knew
something was wrong when at a year old, he could not sit up yet. At 16
months old, Tristan was diagnosed with cerebral palsey. He is six
years old now and doing great. He attends kindergarten and uses his
walker to get around.
We went to Therapies 4 Kids in
November of 2006. Tristan also got the hyperbaric therapy 2 times a
day along with the intensive therapy with the therasuit. Within 2
weeks, Tristan went from barely able to walk a block to walking 10
blocks. He went from being a low talker, to everyone hearing him talk.
It was amazing! We know this therapy really works and we are really
wanting to go back to Florida so that he can do this therapy again.
We live in Baton Rouge and
Tristan has 3 brothers and 2 sisters.
