Unilateral Polymicrogyria

[Guest guest]

My son, who is now 15 months old, was diagnosed with Unilateral Polymicrogyria

at 7 months old. I am just on here looking for other people who have the same

condition and how they have turned out. My son, thankfully, only has signs like

tightness in the left hand and he doesn't use his left hand/arm very much and is

still not walking because his balance is not what it should be at this age. His

is on his right side of his brain, therefore it affects the left side of his

body. His speech (as far as I can tell) is good, so I am not too worried about

that. I just hope that someday after therapy and working with him that no one

will ever be able to tell. We had genetic testing and after everything coming

back negative they are pretty sure that it was my thyroid that caused this to

happen. I thought that all the things I was feeling was just because I was

pregnant, but it turns out my thyroid was not working. I have only told a few

people about my son because I don't want him to be labeled as " the kid with PGM "

I want people to see him for the happy little boy that I see. His doctor has

said that unless someone has dealt with this, they probably wouldn't notice.

Anyways, I am just looking for information on the outcome of people who have

gone through this. I appreciate any information that can be given for me to

better understand this.

Thanks
