hi all, i urgently need advise. As you all know my son was diagnosed with CP and global development delay, but i have recently seen the neurologist who has informed me that his frontal lobe has not developed and also that his chromasome tests have come back inconclusive therefore thay now require that he has and MRI and also a biopsy for chromosomes.I have since talked to my HV and she has advised me that if it is the chromosomes, then dylan will be classed as down syndrome, although i have never seen any attributes it has been brought to my attention that he has 2 definate physical features. He has very oval eyes of which are very wide apart(large nose bridge)and also he has a total flat head at the back. I never been worried about these before until now. If anyone could advise me on this situation it would be much appreciated.

Just wondering if it is quite usual for mosaicism down syndrome to be diagnosed later on in childhood rather than at birth as looking on the net, i cant find much in regards to diagnostic criteria and age.
If any one has any clue or knows of any info, please could you let me know as i am trying to prepare myself for thursday!!!
Many thanks,
Butty.xxx
