It might not be that flash and he might not be able to get that far but Master Corb now has the balance and stability to walk with crutches. I attribute this awesome change primarily to ABR.
Thanks to Advanced Biomechanical Rehabilitation Master Corbs balance has slowly been improving over the years and now with a little help from the botox allowing his feet to be slightly better platforms to stand on he has mastered it... Onward and upwards - bring on the rehabilitation!!!!
Corbin is an 9 year old boy living with Diplegia, a moderate form of Cerebral Palsy. This blog touches on what Cerebral Palsy means for our family and the lengths we are prepared to go to to give our beautiful boy a brighter future.

Mid Year Report
Mid year report time again. I'm delighted to say that once again Corbin continues to work above the expected level for his age in reading, writing and mathematics. The report even states that he is working at the expected level in PE - obviously this must have been adjusted to Corbins "expected" level but we'll take it none the less!
This is his teachers "general" comment at the end of the report:
"Corbin is a go-getter with a great sense of humour and a fantastic attitude to life! he is on task and focussed, he works steadily towards achieving the success criteria. Corbin is a popular friend who loves singing, dancing and participating in games. He loves doing the haka! Corbin has a great desire to achieve well and masters concepts quickly. Keep up the super work Corbin!"
Oh I'm so proud.......

Why Women Can't Sleep
Does your brain ever really pee you off?
Its 4.37 am and I've been awake since 2.30am. I finally got up an hour ago because I was so furious with my over active mind!!! I have lots of stuff on the go at the moment and as a result I am wide awake running through everything I have to do over and over, again and again - which then gets the over active mind believing that there is an insermountable amount of stuff to do (I know that most mums/women will understand this). So what better to do than to get up and get some of those things that need to be done done.
First on my list for my early morning start is to do a really exciting and inspiring blog post (well its not actually first on the list because I have already put washing in the dryer, folded another load of clothes, unloaded the dishwasher, reloaded the dishwasher, made a cup of tea and checked my emails!!!) - so here it is...
WHY WOMEN CAN'T SLEEP
Its finally all explained in this one easy to follow diagram:
Every one of those little blue balls is a thought about something that needs to be done, a decision or a problem that needs to be solved.
A man only has only 2 balls and they consume all his thoughts.
