My Creamsicle is a vestibular hypoplasia baby, which means that her coordination, etc. are quite similar to CH, except that she lost her hearing as a result. She isn't as spastic as she used to be, that's for sure, and her coordination is much improved. I can certainly understand why she would ache, especially from falling down. And when she falls, she falls hard because of her lack of coordination and she rarely falls on her feet, usually on her side or back.

Years ago, I taught exercise and aerobic classes and a woman would bring her daughter who had cerebral palsy who would sit on the sidelines and just watch. One day, w/her mother's permission and hers, of course, I asked her to join the class. She was happy to be a part of it but she was so spastic that she kept falling over onto the women on either side of her. So I asked her to join me in teaching the class. She stood beside me and fell over on me more times than I could count. BUT, after a while, she became less spastic and eventually could do the exercises w/out falling over at all. After some time, her mother came to me and said "This class was the best thing in the world for her. She can move so much more easily now and she isn't in as much pain."

The reason I mention this is that I've made a point of seeing to it that Creamsicle gets plenty of exercise, not just the usual running around that cats do, but chasing the Cat Dancer, etc. I feel that, as a result, she's so much less spastic, doesn't fall as much and thus, isn't as sore. Is it possible for you to increase the amount of exercise that Amy gets? Start out slowly and build from there maybe. I'm just askin'......
