First Post

I have created this blog for family, friends and to inform people about Kaiya and her daily achievements. I hope to inform people about Conductive Education and how it has changed Kaiya's life.

For those who do not know her, Kaiya is my daughter, she is just over 4 years old and she has Cerebral Palsy (CP). According to the hospital where she was born in Ridgewood, NJ she had a stroke while in uetero. After 6 weeks at that hospital and many different and wrong diagnosis, not too mention the numerous hypoxic events at that hospital, we demanded she be transferred to either Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) or Morgan Stanley's Children's Hospital of New York Presbyterian-Columbia. We were able to get into CHOP. At CHOP they looked at the records from Ridgewood and literally laughed. They started all over from the beginning. They discovered she had PVL, which is caused from hypoxic events.
We went home after 11 days. Kaiya got a g-tube (Bard) on her 2nd birthday. She currently does not speak or walk, although she has started to take steps. See the videos on the page to see her progression. Kaiya has gone through the gamet of therapies and the one that has had the most influence has been Conductive Education. For now checkout the videos on this page and also check out the other videos on Conductive Education....
