Hi All!
I have a 2 year old (26 months to be exact). She is honestly my life. However, since she's been six months old she began to get behind with her development. She struggled to sit unaided until she was 11 months, she always was very active rolling around and commando crawling but she didn't properly crawl until she was about 13 months. She has a physio who has given her a medical walker which helps her walk around (she's great at pulling herself up and standing) but she's still unable to walk without the walker. She babbles so much and has maybe said a few words but not properly talking. She has a pediatrician and obviously has GDD. She's got a speech therapist now so hopefully we're going to support her to the best of her ability. She is very engaging and has always known her name etc. We're still waiting on genetic testing which I've been so anxious about. The pediatrician said if it's anything that she thinks may come up it's more likely to be silver Russel syndrome than anything else, as she is tiny for her age (still wears 12-18 months clothes) but I've googled it and they are super tiny. I wouldn't mind that- as they apparently can live a normal independent life but other conditions such as Prader Willi syndrome absolutely scare me. The pediatrician mentioned this but she said it's unlikely because of her characteristics and just how she examined her (she never had issues with sucking) and I had a very smooth pregnancy with natural labour so we're just surprised that it's happened this way. I was up all last night googling, worried about the worst... I will always love her but I just want her to be OK. Please help if anyone has had/knows of any similar experiences, as I feel so alone. :(.
