My Ds George 2.5 and an ex 27 weaker, since he started walking I've noticed his physical development isn't coming on as it should, his fine motor skills are as I would expect but his gait is very odd, he kind of twists to propel himself and seems to be very unbalanced with little stamina. He can't run, he just walks faster and he can't jump. ( he can, however, climb anything! ). It's becoming more obvious as he gets older and people are starting to ask questions. I'm not worried about getting a diagnoses, George is George but DH thinks we should be doing something.
I know he may have mild cerebral palsy. He had some periventricular flare on his early NICU scans but I thought we had dodged that particular bullet. He hasn't had a neuro assessment since babyhood and unless we need to put him though a load of tests I'm inclined to just wait and see how things pan out.
Do we need to do anything ?
I hope you don't mind me posting here. I thought about posting in children's health but my DS is perfectly healthy!
