Jason Rahn wants you to know one thing about kids with cerebral palsy (CP).
“People think cerebral palsy and think the worst and that it defines these kids,” Rahn said. “But it doesn’t.”
Jason’s son, Colton, is a nine-year-old living with CP.
Colton was diagnosed with CP at 14 months old in 2010. Doctors told the Rahns that Colton had a stroke either right before or after birth due to a blood clot in the left main artery going into the brain. The clot stopped before it reached the center, according to Jason, but it blocked all of the blood flow to the left side of his brain.
