I have posted before about having concerns about my daughter. She is not walking at 20 months and has had an MRI which has shown that she has a lesion on her brain.
Have just had a really bad morning. Had them at crèche in church this morning and her twin bumped her head on a chair and started crying and then the other twin starts sobbing for no reason. I'm on my on with two wailing babies.
Also she looks different. She wears glasses to correct a squint in her eye and she just literally sits there and doesn't move. One of the other women asked what age she was and was like "really she's 20 months old and still not walking". Just said to her that she has a few problems. There was another child there which was literally half the age of my daughter and she was moving and interacting more than she was.
I just feel now as she is getter older that it is becoming more obvious to other people that something is not right with her. After months of physio she can know sit unaided and pull herself to standing. We are working now on side stepping. It just seems so unfair. It seems to come naturally to other children and her twin but not to my daughter.
I am just really frustrated with her and wish that she would do more. Especially with them being twins I imagined them doing everything together and not one being able bodied and the other not. I don't want a disabled child. I want a normal child that can do normal things that other children take for granted like walking.
