Joseph Portugal

Trinity8409 - 05:20pm May 30, 2012 EST

Hi everyone. My baby Joseph Enrique Portugal was born on July 26, 2011. He was 3'14oz at birth. He spent a month in the NICU at Miller Childrens Hospital in Long Beach,CA. He now is doing better other than he might have Cerebal Palsy and he has to do physical therepy 3 times a week. He is also has developmental delays, the doctors say he is at a 3-5 month old when he is only 9 months old. Please pray for him to get better.

Hello and welcome to share. Thank you for sharing Joseph's story. There are so many families on this site who are also struggling with their children's delays. It is great that he is going to therapy. I hope he can continue to meet his goal
I will be thinking and praying for your family

Hi and welcome to Share. It sounds like Joseph is doing well. It took my son almost 2 years until he was coughs up developmentally. I lived my sons therapists, they really helped. Good luck!
