Hi Hon: I feel very much for you. I know you are looking for answers, but sometimes there isn't any. Cerebaly Palsey is from lack of oxygen in the brain - most often then not this happens at birth. It can be slight to extreme. Parkinsons, is more to do with the electrical wiring of the brain.
When you say "Awakenings" The doctor in question tested MANY medication on his patients. Some worked for a short period of time and others didn't work at all. The patient in question was catatonic!!! No movement or reaction at all. Your sister will have reactions such as smiling blinking etc. There is a LOT of research into curing Cerebal Palsy AND Parkinsons. Some CP patients have botox injected into their joints, to assisst with the movement of their joints. Here is a website about Cerebal Palsy. NEVER give up hope honey, And I think you are a very mature young lady/young man for trying to find out information that can help someone you care about. Just be careful about logging on to too many sites, as sometimes you can hear the absolute worst stories - which may or may not be true! God Bless! You and your sisterinlaw and families!

I agree with what Bambi27 has posted here. Unfortunately, the two disorders are not related enough. It's very important to remember that while the movie that you saw gave you hope, it's just a movie. It is based on a true story but it did not happen quite the way that it was depicted. And ultimately it was a sad movie and a sad story in real life because the medication that was used did not last for long, so people who were able to move again stopped moving shortly thereafter. I feel bad because it got your hopes up, but that's why movies are wonderful like that sometimes.
