Luckily Christy's mother did not give up - not because of a sense of duty but because of love.Īt the age of five Christy still was as helpless as a baby and there was something like a brick wall between Christy and his brothers and sisters and his mother tried to pull it down brick by brick. His mother did not want to see him as a cripple like the doctors did. Christy was only a little over a year old when he was taken to several doctors and each of them told them that he was a very interesting but hopeless case because he suffered from cerebral palsy. His mother told her husband about her fears and they decided to seek medical advice. His head had the habit of falling back whenever she tried to feed him, at the age of six months he was not able to sit without some pillows around him and at twelve months it was the same. The first who saw that something was wrong with Christy was his mother when he was about four months old.
