Friday before 9.10am was normal.
Then we saw the GP about an ongoing issue (baby's face drops on one side at times). First time we had seen the GP as the HV had said not to worry as both sides of the face moves when she smiles. But I was worried so I booked to the see the GP.
Ended up with an urgent appointment at paediatrics at the local hospital.
Baby has facial nerve palsy of unknown cause. They are booking an MRI and neurology. Because she can move her forehead and eyes, it's unlikely to be Bell's palsy. They are looking for an upper motor neurone lesion. (It's amazing how much they put in notes these days to hand to parents).
So yeah, I don't know what's happening with my baby girl. She is 9 months, developing slower than her 6 siblings, but getting there. Been trying to get a SALT appointment sorted as she chokes on food and drink most days, but seems that the local website that's says HV can refer is wrong and I need to go back to the GP.
Just got to keep going until we see neuro I guess. Maybe some answers soon.
