I want to send you big hugs. My bro had a similar birth, and has Cerebral Palsy. I know I can't really help with what you are going through right now but I just wanted to say that he is an amazing 15yo (birthday last week), extremely intelligent and charming, and is a student representative for his high school, and wants to be a psychologist or a lawyer. He had such a similar start to your little girl (and your little prince too Maz), but kids with CP are such fighters, I've never met a stronger more resilient person.
I would also encourage you to contact a man called Shane Scott. I can forward his email to you if you PM me. He is a social worker who has CP, he's got his own business called "Access Counselling Services" and also works with DSQ helping people get funding. He helped my bro and my parents work through acceptance and understanding. He is based in Brisbane but he has contacts around Australia and it might help to chat with someone. I trust whoever he recommends. The CP League can be good, but sometimes you get people who are very disillusioned, and it can be really disheartening.
