You may REST IN PEACE our Baby Arianne!! We love you so much.
I remember back then when I was still in high school, I attended a "Leadership training". I was asked by one of the guest speakers what is my greatest fear in life? So I told them that my greatest fear was death, but not my death. What I mean is the death of my family members, the death of my friends and all the people I love. Whether we acknowledge it or not, most of us fear death in that way.
Baby Arianne is the second child of my cousin, so she is actually my nephew. She is a very good inside and outside school. She is a happy child. And I love how respectful she is. She just celebrated her 7th birthday last June 5,2021.
She started to feel the pain in her head 4 days after her birthday. So her mother and father decided to bring her to the hospital. And after the test/examination of her, the doctor says that it's Cerebral Palsy. And she must undergo an operation. But unfortunately she passed away before the day of her operation.
Cause of death : Cerebral Palsy
What is Cerebral Palsy?
Cerebral Palsy
Is an umbrella term that refers to a group of disorders or disabilities affecting the person's ability to move
Is it due to damage of the developing brain either during the pregnancy or surely just after birth.
SYMPTOMS

Variations in muscle tone, like for example being like too floppy

Excessive drooling or problems with swallowing
Difficulty with eating etc.
CAUSES OF CEREBRAL PALSY
In most cases the cause of the baby cerebral palsy isn't known, but there are factors that can lead to problems with brain development
1.Gene mutations
lead to abnormal development
2. Maternal infections

3. Disruption of blood supply to the developing brain
4. Bleeding into the brain in the womb
5. Infant infections

6. Head injury from fall or accident
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CEREBRAL PALSY
Cerebral palsy can be classified into 4 different types:
1.Spastic
stiff movements and caused by damage to the motor cortex
2.Dyskinetic
uncontrollable movements and caused by damage to the basal ganglia
3. Ataxic
characterized by poor balance and coordination and caused by damage to the cerebellum
4. Mixed
a combination of 2 or more types of CP
The primary treatment for cerebral palsy is Medication, therapy, and surgery to manage symptoms and relieve pain.
Closing thoughts
I really don't know what to say. I can't imagine that at her age, she will experience those pains. It really hurst a lot on us. It's just sad that she died and her dreams too at a very young age of 7 .
We'll always love you baby arianne. Guide us always our angel!
