Five days after the birth of her second son, Nicky developed Bell's palsy, a facial paralysis affecting one side of the face. In a majority of people symptoms resolve with steroids and anti-viral treatments. The symptoms lingered for a year despite treatment at which point she was diagnosed with synkinesis, or abnormal facial nerve movement, which occurs about 10% of patients. Nicky was relieved as the diagnosis represented a path forward. Dr. Amit Kochhar at Pacific Neuroscience Institute has been working with Nicky for 2 years and she feels very grateful his expertise in treating synkinesis.

Longitudinal trajectory of medial gastrocnemius muscle growth in the first years of lifeAim: To define the longitudinal trajectory of gastrocnemius muscle growth in 6- to 36-month-old children with and without spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) and to compare trajectories by levels of gross motor function (Gross Motor Function Classification System, GMFCS) and presumed brain-lesion timing.Method: Twenty typically developing children and 24 children with SCP (GMFCS levels I-II/III-IV = 15/9), were included (28/16 females/males; mean age at first scan 15.4 months [standard deviation 4.93, range 6.24-23.8]). Three-dimensional freehand ultrasound was used to repeatedly assess muscle volume, length, and cross-sectional area (CSA), resulting in 138 assessments (mean interval 7.9 months). Brain lesion timing was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging classification. Linear mixed-effects models defined growth rates, adjusted for GMFCS levels and presumed brain-lesion timing.Results: At age 12 months, children with SCP showed smaller morphological muscle size than typically developing children (5.8 mL vs 9.8 mL, p < 0.001), while subsequently no differences in muscle growth were found between children with and without SCP (muscle volume: 0.65 mL/month vs 0.74 mL/month). However, muscle volume and CSA growth rates were lower in children classified in GMFCS levels III and IV than typically developing children and those classified in GMFCS levels I and II, with differences ranging from -56% to -70% (p < 0.001).Interpretation: Muscle growth is already hampered during infancy in SCP. Muscle size growth further reduces with decreasing functional levels, independently from the brain lesion. Early monitoring of muscle growth combined with early intervention is needed.

What a year 2014 was! That's what motivated me to start this diary, which is now going on year 10. It was such a hairy time, in fact, that as a way to process it all,  I hit upon the idea of creating a musical diary, using the I Ching - (something I'd been obsessing about) - as my guiding structure. My sister-in-law, Lea died suddenly, but before that Chemayne and I were mandated custody, by Court Order, of our nephew, Gunner. Oh, yes... and, then, out of nowhere, I contracted Bell's Palsy, which paralyzed half of my face. It's in the rear view mirror now, but, geez... that was trippy.

Gross Motor Family Report: Refinement and evaluation of psychometric propertiesElton D. D. Magalhães, Peter Rosenbaum, Marilyn Wright, F. Virginia Wright, Lesley Pritchard, Kennea M. A. Ayupe, Ana Carolina de Campos, Rosane S. Morais, Hercules R. Leite, Paula S. C. ChagasAbstractAimTo refine the Gross Motor Family Report (GM-FR) using parents' input and to evaluate its psychometric properties.MethodIn this measurement study, 12 parents of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP), aged 2 to 18 years, classified in all levels of the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), were interviewed about their experience completing the GM-FR (content validity). Parents' feedback was used to refine the measure which was then completed by 146 families to evaluate internal consistency, and discriminative and concurrent validity. Forty-six parents completed the GM-FR again, 7 to 30 days later, to evaluate test–retest reliability.ResultsGM-FR scoring, pictures, descriptions, and the total number of items were revised based on parents' feedback. The GM-FR version 2.0 demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.99), no floor/ceiling effects, and excellent test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.99). GM-FR scores discriminated between GMFCS levels (p less than 0.05) and were strongly negatively correlated with GMFCS level (r = −0.92; p less than 0.001). GM-FR scores correlated positively and strongly with the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (r = 0.94; p less than 0.001) and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory – Computer Adaptive Test mobility domain (r = 0.93; p less than 0.001).InterpretationActive participation of families in the GM-FR's development facilitated creation of a family-friendly instrument. This study provides strong evidence of reliability and validity to support GM-FR use in clinical practice and research for assessing gross motor performance of children and adolescents with CP.https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dmcn.16042

Hey, Heal Squad! Today's episode is incredibly personal. Maria's close friend, Joe, was hit with a sudden medical emergency: Bell's Palsy. Doctors sent him home with medication and little hope, but Maria knew just who to call. After connecting him with Gaby Piccirilli, holistic healer and creator of Regenerative Pathway Therapy (RPT). Within just three sessions, Joe regained control of his face and made a full recovery—no meds, no surgery, just energetic healing through the nervous system. Gaby breaks down exactly how she was able to trace Joe's neurological issue from his brain to his toes, and why your nervous system might be the root of your “random” symptoms. You'll hear the unbelievable story straight from Joe himself and what happened the moment he knew the healing was working. Trust us, you do NOT want to miss this one. Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Regenerative Pathway Therapy (RPT): Tapping into your body's built-in healing system. By working with the central nervous system, RPT can restore function and regenerate damaged nerves—without pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures. Belief is your biggest superpower.

A Cerebral Palsy diagnosis can bring a wave of emotions—especially for families who have already been through the NICU. In honor of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, this episode is dedicated to helping NICU parents feel more informed, supported, and empowered as they navigate the possibility or reality of CP.In this episode, we'll talk through the different types of Cerebral Palsy, what can cause it, and why certain babies—especially those born prematurely or with conditions like IVH, PVL, or HIE—may be at higher risk. We'll also discuss why the diagnosis can take time, the early signs parents might notice, and how healthcare providers typically confirm a CP diagnosis. From there, we'll explore treatment options, therapy approaches, and supportive services that can help improve quality of life and promote progress over time.Equally important, we'll talk about the emotional toll a diagnosis can bring and the importance of prioritizing your own well-being as a parent. With the right support systems in place, children with CP can grow, thrive, reach milestones, and live joyful lives—and you deserve to feel supported along that journey too.If you're looking for clarity, encouragement, and practical tools for advocating for your child, this episode was made with you in mind. Be sure to check the show notes for a free downloadable PDF filled with trusted resources to support your family.You are not alone in this—there is strength in knowledge, healing in connection, and so much hope ahead.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/ NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/ NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/ Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/ Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/ Episode 67 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode67 Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/ Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmH

Linda Bamber joins me today for the second part of our two-part series on the WavWatch, which uses sound therapy to send specific sounds to retune and realign the energy within the body. The sounds are absorbed quickly and safely through the skin and bones before moving throughout the body. In Part 2 today, Linda dives into the specific uses of the WavWatch, including its role in preventing and treating Lyme disease and parasites. What the WavWatch can be used totreat: All symptoms of inflammation Lyme Disease Helps eliminate parasites and prevent reinfestation Targets known pathogens, viruses, and detoxes lymph nodes Supports detoxification from chemicals, EMFs, radiation, and heavy metals Addresses muscle, nerve, and joint pain Nerve-related conditions like Bell's Palsy and neuropathy Emotional Support Improving brain function, memory, cognition, and mental clarity. Targeted support for heart, eyes, ears, and other vital organs Linda Bamber-Olson's Bio: Linda Bamber-Olson developed a fascination with sound after being born deaf in one ear. Her love for music- particularly percussion, revealed the healing power of vibrations, which positively impacted her health and mind. This personal discovery, combined with frustration over limited options for her mother and sister during their battles with breast cancer, inspired her to create BRAS—a business focused on thermography and natural prevention strategies for breast health. Her passion for sound as a healing modality led to the development of the WAVWatch, a self-care wearable that uses sound frequencies to promote wellness. The device has grown rapidly in popularity, fueled by remarkable customer testimonials and its ability to provide instant relief. A sought-after speaker on the healing power of sound, Linda frequently appears on podcasts with experts like Carrie Madej and Dr. Bryan Ardis. She continues to inspire others through her innovative work and will release a book chronicling her health journey in early 2025.
