A Washington jury has awarded $4.25 million in a lawsuit against Evergreen Hospital Medical Center in Kirkland, WA. The medical staff is held at fault for causing cerebral palsy.

They delayed the child’s birth for at least 20 minutes after the mother’s placenta abrupted. This caused the oxygen supply to be cut off, leading to cerebral palsy.

In New Zealand three midwives have been asked to apologize for their actions during the delivery of an infant. The first midwife was said to be deficient in her assessment of the woman and in her treatment of the infant. When delivered, the infant was “dark grey, floppy and gasping for air.”

One of the other midwives is accused of being deficient in her care of the infant, while the other was deficient in her care of the woman.

When the medical staff around you cannot perform necessary steps in a delivery, birth injuries can easily occur. If you or someone you know has had to suffer through birth injuries, contact the birth injury attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 866.950.9000.

DJ Gregory, a 30 year old golf fanatic with cerebral palsy, has decided to walk every round of this year’s PGA tour. Gregory walks with a different golf pro for each event. This helps to raise cerebral palsy awareness, but is also a personal challenge for Gregory.

Walking 5 to 6 miles each day for 4 or 5 days in a row takes its toll on Gregory, but he continues to do it out of a love for the sport. Battling cerebral palsy makes this very difficult for him, but he is living his dream of getting to know so many golf pros.

The St Louis University School of Public Health has just been granted $26.3 million to conduct their studies toward developmental health. This will allow the school to study part of the 100,000 nationwide children from birth to age 21.

Part of the study will include observing pregnant women to try to identify factors that will influence the child’s health. This should give the medical community some insight into what causes birth defects, and how to avoid them.
