My neurologist, Dr. Andrews, has responded to United Healthcare on my behalf. This comes after a week of my mom and dad calling and finally writing to her. Anyhow, she has written them a letter entitled "Letter of Medical Necessity" for my gait trainer. In it, she states my official diagnosis - spastic diplegia cerebal palsy. This means that the CP affects my lower extremities - legs, hips and pelvis. The spacticity means my muscles are tight. I do use my right hand more now, though still not as equally as my left, but every little bit counts.
Now we wait until they respond and hopefully I will have the gait trainer soon.
About Me

- Hi. My name is Gavin. I was born two months early in April 2006. I spent 31 days in the NICU. I have PVL and spastic diplegic CP. I attend Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy 2x's/week; Hippotherapy, Neuromuscular and Aquatherapy 1x/week. Craniosacral Therapy and Conductive Education every other week. My mom doesn't work now because she takes care of me and takes me to all my therapies. My dad works really hard and often travels so we mostly see each other on the weekends. One day we will all be together again. We love each other very much. Thank you for reading my blog.
