i dont where put story at if someone under me now here guys go i hope help a litter  When I was just a baby, only 1 year old, I got sick. I had an ear infection that wasn't just the normal bacteria type, it was also a virus. My parents gave me medicine, but that only stopped the bacteria part. The virus went in along my auditory nerve to attack my cerebellum. The cerebellum acts like a big switching station for all the body's nerve signals. Mine got damaged. I was walking and starting to talk, but after this, I could not even sit up, since my balance was totally gone. Doctors were stumped for 2 years, but a Neurologist finally figured it out and called it Post Infectious Cerebellitis. I started therapy, speech, phsycial, occupational, all that sort of thing, and did it through High School. The doctors said I would never walk or talk. But, my parents refused to believe that and pushed me to work hard. Now I can walk, talk, and do just about everything. Even if my speech is not totally clear, or math and reading are a bit tough for me, I keep working at it. I proved the doctors wrong!
