[quote=Anonymous]OP here, I just wanted to give an update. We saw a neurologist at Children's and she (thankfully) didn't find any scary reasons for the weakness. Ie. no evidence of stroke or serious neurological disease. But she did confirm a diagnosis that DS's OT had suggested a while back: Developmental Dyspraxia and hypotonia. I don't know what to think right now. I guess I'm just processing this and what it means. For so long, I just hoped that he had some minor strength issues and that we could just do some therapy, get him strong, and be done with it. But at the same time, I knew it wasn't that. It's an odd feeling to feel relief because you are validated, but paralyzed with worry about your baby. Well he isn't a baby, but he's *my* baby and it's hard to think about his struggles and the road ahead of him. [/quote]
