My daughter turned 2 last month, her gross motor skills have been delayed 14 months crawling, 19 months walking. Shes been under a physio since she started walking. They originally thought she was just double jointed as her feet/ankles roll inwards but theyve now got other concerns as her calf muscles ‘catch’ when they check them, she only swings her right arm when walking, she doesnt really run, falls more than others, needs support with stepping up and down things, cant jump, her left leg is more weak than her right, she tires easily when walking, theres a lot of ‘flags’ really..
so she has been assessed by a paediatrician who has referred her for an MRI scan on her brain & spine & a blood test which are both in July and has also been referred to an eye specialist too.
i just wanted to know if anyone else has been through this. Im glad its all being done sooner rather than later but im also just worried too.
I know theyre checking for mild cerebal palsy & muscular dystrophy and probably other things too but my mind is just doing overtime..
