Will he ever get better?

[fox24]

My son is at the point of metal leg braces and scoliosis getting worse. Were trying to help work with him on working on his posture more instead of being curled up in a ball all the time. He has Spastic Diplegic CP. With doing the braces on his legs 8 hours a day and 2x a week aqua therapy and also spinal treatments for the spine -we dont seem to be getting anywhere. He's 12 yrs old and were both getting very frudtrated. Can anyone help us with some info? He's finally going to be seeing an actuall dr that specializes in CP but till we move from NY to FL - i'd like some help. Were leaving next month.
Thank You

hello fox24,
i am really sorry to hear about all this, but the problem is that children with spastic diplegic CP. Spasticity is caused  by an exaggeration of the normal muscle passive stretch reflex. Joint contractures, subluxation, and degeneration are common in patients with spastic cerebral palsy. Since you have about one month time to take action, you need to be careful to maintain his range of motion of the various joints as well as prevent the worsening of his spine scoliosis.Frustration won't help you. So you need to remove it as soon as possible.
I wish you all the best as well as pray for quick improvement. Don't delay.
