I wanted DS5 to have an MRI, to see extent of possible brain damage. Paed seems to think he will definately have some sort of damage as he has learning difficulties.
DS5 also has (as im sure you are all aware!) GDD, and is delayed by 18mths+, hes 3.2yrs. Hes autistic too.
But what if they find quite a lot of damage? I know it doesnt change who he is right now, and i love him to bits - hes brill!!!
I dont worry about tumor or anything. Or even having something wierd like half a brain or something.
BUT what if they find something that means he is unlikely to ever grow up? hes wonderful right now, but an 18y/o whos still 18mths?
The reasonable bit of me says he is physically growing (if only ever so slowly) and he is, I think, maturing a bit... actually hes been around 12-18mth for an awful long time. or perhaps thats just how i perceive it to be.
I know NO-ONE can tell me its going to be OK. After all it might not be . but equally it might be. I suppose thats why i wanted it in the first place.
OOOOOOHHH i dont know. suppose it really is last minute nerves. just want to get that off my chest, thanks for reading. XXX
