Oh god hold my hand.

[OpheliasWeepingWillow]

Am in Asia and about to sleep but neurologist says dd who is in hospital (10 months) has delayed brain development. This is in conjunction with failure to thrive and a flatlining curve. They are looking at metabolic and genetic disorders and I am beside myself. Couldn't find Special Needs on my stupid phone.

Spinal tap tomorrow I think.

So scared. She is my world.

((((Holding your hand))))

Holding your hand tightly.

And me.

I have ds2 with delayed development now nearly 5 and doing very well at an sn sch. Hope that tests lead to some answers for you.

Giving your hand a big squeeze Ophelia.

It must be really worrying. The waiting to see what's wrong is often the hardest part. I hope you get some answers fast. Sending lots of wellness vibes to both DD & you.

I am such a wuss. Teary at all you lovely women offering support.

OP, I hope things aren't as bad as you fear and that your DD is okay.

With love and prayers. At 7 months ds wasn't thriving and had had four hospital admissions for respiratory probs. He had all the symptoms of cystic fibrosis and although the sodium test was -ve he was referred to the Royal Brompton for further tests.

He is almost 18 and 6'2" so sometimes these things are not as bad as one thinks or as the doctors say.

Fingers and toes crossed OP. Good luck. Come back and back so we can carry on holding your hand. xxxxxx
