Life is like a Cerebral Palsy foot spasm you just have to breathe through it – that’s what I have realized.
It’s 2 : 18 PM on day 2619 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read John 14:2-4 and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet -raised $4 606 only $7 894 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot (thanks to everyone who has helped out so far).
Yesterday morning as I was still lying on my bed one foot just started to spasm I could literally feel the blood vessels at the bottom of feet constricting all I could think through my excruciating pain was breathe, breathe, breathe and after what felt like an eternity and many deep breaths my pain was gone I will never ever tell my parents or doctors what happened yesterday because they’ll put me on a hundred different medications for something that happens once in a blue moon I prefer just to breathe through it the pain I go through reminds me of my aliveness and how much I actually want to be alive . Life is much like a Cerebral Palsy foot spasm you just have to breathe through it and know pain doesn’t last forever.

My 10 year old has a mild form of Cerebral palsy. I have been told to help her breath through the spasms and we have her on backflen we also do physical therapy every Tuesday. I work with her spasms and knots and massage her but she does the hard part the deep breathing. Life is not easy to watch her go though the pain I could never imagine what it is like for her. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome, Tell her to keep breathing and try to relax during the spasms
