Hi.

I am sorry to hear about your son being afflicted with this disorder.

Cerebral palsy does not have a permanent cure at the present time but the brain disorder that causes cerebral palsy does not get worse as time goes on. However, children who have cerebral palsy most often requires long-term care. How long and what treatment method to use would be dependent on how severe the cerebral palsy symptoms are.

Initial treatment is most often conservative using drugs. It is only when conservative treatment fails and after careful screening by a multidisciplinary team of experts is surgery considered.

Other treatment options that would probably have to be instituted as your child grows older is physical therapy, speech therapy, orthotics, etc.

You should talk to your child's doctor about this.

Good luck.

I have a son with a similar condition.  Good luck and don't give up hope!  
My son is now 2 1/2, still no head control.  We also considered the surgery route, but finally controlled seizures with medication.  Keep surgery if offered as a last resort.
