Medicaid currently covers the cost of diapers for children, but not for teens. Sharett’s diapers are the family’s second biggest expense, and cost around $2,400 a year. This is a huge expense for a family of 5 trying to survive on an annual income of only $12,000.

Cerebral palsy is a serious, permanent, degenerative condition that can be caused at birth by negligent doctors or hospitals. Sufferers of cerebral palsy often do not survive childhood, and are completely dependent on their parents or caretakers.

Cerebral Palsy—what is it?

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

The term cerebral palsy encompasses a set of neurological conditions that cause physical disability in human development, either through the brain or the nervous system.

The word cerebral refers to the area in the brain that is affected, while palsy means complete or partial muscle paralysis. A child with cerebral palsy will generally show symptoms during the first three years of life.

There are several types of cerebral palsy.

Spastic cerebral palsy (spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia) involves muscle stiffness on one side of the body, the lower limbs, or full body, respectively.

Ataxic cerebral palsy affects the child’s balance and depth perception. Most children with ataxic cerebral palsy have normal intelligence and good communication skills, but may have erratic speech.

A study from 2001, conduced by researchers from Oxford University, concluded that the antibiotics erythomycin and co-amoxiclav could reduce negative infant outcomes in some cases of premature labor (usually when the mother’s water had already broken).  The new study followed up on the children from the original study at the age of seven and examined their rates of cerebral palsy and related problems.

Back to the Future Part III

The researchers found no negative effects among children of women who had been given antibiotics after their waters had broken. But among the rest of the children, use of either antibiotic significantly increased the risk of physical or mental impairment, and more than doubled the risk of cerebral palsy.

While only 2 percent of premature infants whose mothers had not been given antibiotics developed cerebral palsy, 5 percent of those whose mothers were given both antibiotics did.
