What is Cerebral Palsy?
The textbook definition of Cerebral Palsy (CP) describes it as " A congenital disorder of movement, muscle tone, or posture. Cerebral palsy is due to abnormal brain development, often before birth". (Mayo Clinic)
In his own words, Brennan likes to tell people having CP just means my brain is a little f*@ked (pardon my French) in the walking department. He was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at birth due to a lack of Oxygen to my brain. Basically what that mean is he has spasticity issues mainly in my legs, which causes the muscles to be weak and tight. Brennan is able to walk with the aid of forearm crutches, and use both manual and power wheelchairs. Additionally, he is at home using an antique wheelchair.
Even though he can't walk per say, he is very mobile, If you need further information or finer details feel free to shoot him an e-mail (bsrisirikul@hotmail.com) with any questions! He is an open book!
