ROM Resist & New Zealand

The result? He did great! After a few months of healing & P.T., everything he did before he could now still do, but prettier, less crowd displeasing crouch. Two more years, and slowly that crouch was showing itself. Increase P.T. Another year and he was not back to where he was before surgery, he was worse – a lot worse. He didn't even look 'class 1' anymore... kind of 2 ish. He preferred to not [the above long list goes here – soccer etc] as fatigue and always needing to quit was embarrassing, becoming a sitter. Big city genetics diagnostics follows. CP doesn't get worse with time. Obviously a genetic progressive thing was earlier confused with CP (happens a lot). Genetics result? No. It is CP. Neurologists? Same. It was ordinary mild CP that is somehow was really slow to fully manifest the neurological basis that it had (in the head where mystery lives). Palpating (feeling & probing) the surgical area, just felt thick, thick and indistinct. Fast or slow movement didn't seem to favor how it felt where. My suggestion: “I think we need to do an exploratory operation.”& NEVER ever had that been suggested by me for CP! Something local was amiss in that old surgery . He didn't look like CP at all when he was sitting relaxed. We only saw the grimacing and arm stiffness when he was working hard to walk our corridor circuit which he could not complete. To this suggestion, & mother's horror? “I was hoping you would say that.” My husband? has been saying this for the last year!”

So, what did we find? You have been shown enough experimental stuff to figure it out.
