I wish I could say that Everett has dramatically improved motorically this summer, but our progress has been really slow. We also spent two weeks in intensive ABM therapy in California and we still aren’t sitting, crawling or walking. But, Everett’s communication is like night and day. Now Everett can answer a question in the affirmative by saying “yeah” – which makes a HUGE difference. He also shakes his head for no and has a bunch of new sounds. His vision is a lot better and he has had almost no vision therapy this summer! All I can say is that the brain heals in the order that it wants to.

Hi Michelle,
Thanks for commenting! I think that Dr. Yngve only does hips/knees/ankles – but you should definitely ask him. I do know that Everett’s right hand, elbow, and shoulder are much more open since the surgery. And by open, I mean we have improved range of motion AND function!!! I agree, the surgery is a miracle! We will pray for you and your daughter next week. Let me know how it goes!

My daughter Claire had a stroke 2 weeks before she was born. She is a right hemi. I am a pediatric OT from Knoxville and happened to work with a former patient of Dr Yngve. This year I have referred 2 other patients to him as a miracle doctor! The result was AMAZING!!!!!! Soooooo this time next week my daughter and I will be in Galveston! I have one question… Does he not work on the blow or hand if it is interacting? I know it will help her toe walking but what about her elbow? Do you know? Thanks and God Bless

Nicole,
My name is Brittany, I also have Cerebral Palsy. I was born with it as a result of being premature. My Mother had an emergency C-section at 26 weeks. I was 2lbs exactly. I am 24 years old, I am married and have 3 children. Everett’s story touched me.. I just wanted to say, my Mom was my greatest supporter, and she still is. As long as Everett has the support of his family he will go far! Never ever ever give up on him! What a great testimony he is, Praise God
