[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could take your son to a neuroligist. We were referred when my twins were about 4 months. They were born 9 weeks premature. The neurologist at Georgetown was wonderful, but he moved. I'd ask your pediatrician for a referall. Frankly, I'd be very surprised if you kid had CP. [/quote] PP, can you tell me a little about this? What prompted you to go then and what was your experience like? Any diagnosis that early? Thanks so much.[/quote] My son was refererred by his physcial therapist basically because of his lack of ability to sustain eye contact - he would zone out and his eyes would drift. He grew out of this - it was some kind of neurological immaturity resulting from prematurity. That was twin A. When we took twin A in, twin B was with us. The nuerologist was more concerned about Twin B who had clonus or an inappropriate reflex in his ankle. The neurologist told us twin B had a 60-70% chance of having mild CP. They are both 4 and a half now and neither has a neurological condition. Both twins had physcial therapy until they were walking (around 15 months). Twin B was tracked by a neurologist until he was walking. We had a later CP scare about twin A (courtesy of the Gtown developmental clinic), but this was resolved by another neurologist. Twin B had low tone but that is completely no biggie. We are starting OT for fine motor skills, but I think they have fine motor issues due to DH's bad fine motor genes not because of prematurity and it's not a big deal.[/quote]
