Answer 1

I suspect that you have the spelling wrong, if you could put it right I may be able to give you some help;

Answer 2

I'm not a doctor but I think you might probably have been told your daughter has what we call in the UK a hemiparesis, a one sided weakness of the body in muscles under voluntary control. In the USA it might have a slightly different name. If you could clarify the diagnosis you would be able to find an online support group probably within your geographic region (USA?) Just be careful about giving out too much detail to complete strangers before you know if you can trust them.

Sorry for your isolation...

I don't have information off the top of my head, but I'd be happy to help with some research (I'm in the health field and have access to hundreds of medical journals).

Don't know how contacting works on this yahoo answers though, I've only been on a few days...
