Have got my first genetics appointment tomorrow and was wondering whether anyone else had been referred to genetics.
Basic background - youngest DD (nearly 3), youngest of 3 children, has global developmental delay but so far no cause has been found for this delay.
Has had portage in the past - but that now seems to have taken a back-step as she is now having Integrated Pathways, sees physiotherapist, been referred to Occupational Therapist - still waiting appointment, not sure what this involves, had MRI scan, CAT scan, spine e-rays, been through Great Ormond Street - EVERYTHING COMES BACK NORMAL SO FAR.
Next step is Genetics. Both me and ex-husband (father of all children) have got to go tomorrow. The reason they are referring my DD is because (1) she is very big for her age (wears age 4 clothes, size 10 shoe), but me and ex-H are not on the large size - him 5 ft. 7 and me 5 ft. 4 (2) she has two teeth fused in the front (3) she is loose-limbed (double jointed), (4) walks on the outside of her feet (5) has large thumbs(?) and (5) has global developmental delay.
If anyone has had a genetics appointment, what do they look for. Do they start off with blood tests.
Sasha has had chromosone tests which all came back positive.
