Hemiplegia

D was diagnosed with hemiplegia cerebral palsy, which basically means that the arm and the leg on one side of the body is affected. Because D's intraventricular hemorrhage was on the left side of her brain, the right side of her body is effected (much like stroke victims). Her therapists have been watching her carefully the past few weeks and have come to the conclusion that in her case, only her arm is affected, not the leg. Wahooo!
