dd1 has got weakness on her left side (although it's not officially been said to us yet), the ot has noted it down that most of the time her left arm just hangs to the side and i've worked really hard at bringing it in but she still seems to 'forget' it's there. the physio hasn't been to review her lately but when she's crwaling and gets tired the left leg gets dragged. if she is willing to try to do some walking using her k walker than her left leg tends to turn to the side and again gets dragged.
on all her hearing tests it's always noted that she has slight loss but more so to the left. is it just coincidence or is it linked in?
she has digeorge syndrome but had a bad time when she was first born, on the third day she collapsed and went into multiple organ failure due to her having a complex cardiac condition which we didn't know about until the duct in the heart started to close over. i still feel that the bad time she had when she was born has contrabuted to this, i don't feel like it's just because she has digeorge syndrome but i may be wrong.
