Hi
I have noticed there seem to be some very knowledgable people on here.
My dd was born at 34 weeks, my waters broke unexpectedly and she arrived by a natural birth 24 hrs later. She scored 8 at 1min and 9 at 5mins. She was 2.7kg and discharged after 5 days. Since then she slept ALOT! and missed all her milestones until at 9 mnths we where finally referred to a neuro. The rest they say is history. At about a year old she was diagnosed via MRI scane as haveing cp.
The notes on her scan results say
Light Perinatal Problems and Spastic Quad.
Results of Scan
bihemispheric loss of supratentorial parenchymal thickness
(sorry these are translated from spanish so the english may be abit strange)
We are now a year on, she can sit unaided, roll, commando crawl, is starting to speak. Has high tone in legs and arms but low in trunk.
We have our next neuro appoitment next week, what sort of things should I be asking about? Anyone know if this sort of damage is usually due to prematurity or a problem in pregnancy.
Thanks
