Abigail is a 6 year old girl who loves to interact with her sisters and play on the computer with books, games and music. She also enjoys watching cartoons on the television. But most of all Abigail loves to interact with people. She is a very social girl!  

     Due to a car accident, Abigail had a stroke while she was in the womb. At birth she was given the diagnoses of Cerebral Palsy. She has difficulty using her arms and legs due to high muscle tone, reflex influence and poor strength.  Abigail also has difficulty eating and swallowing so she gets most of her nutrition through a stomach tube. She makes sounds but has difficulty forming words.

      Recently Abigail received a Baclofen Pump which releases muscle relaxers into the spinal cord area.  Hopefully she will be able to start using her arms and legs more independently after the retraining of her muscles. Abigail is already showing improvement!
