Guest guest Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 hi i briefly wrote in the other day and it was suggested that i explain more in detail so here goes. lets see i had a not so normal pregnancy i had preclamsia toxemia and had to be induced at 37 weeks for high blood pressure and did receive a rhogam shot. i was on magnesium sulfate for about 4 days and then it took a total of 5 to have him. he was fine first apgar a 8 and second a 9 everything seemed fine, 6 pounds 8 ounces. i wanted to breast feed but for some reason he was not interested i suspect they fed him in the nursery so he went to sleep in his little bed next to me and i woke up and he was blue i got the nurse in time and they recesitated him but no oxygen left his blood. they ran all kinds of tests but found nothing wrong said it was SIDS. so we went home after 3 days had things as normal as could be with that heart monitor contraption lol. at three weeks he got a fever and we took him to the doctors they admitted him and found he had viral menigitis. (all the while i had my second rhogam shot and i am nursing). after a few days of antibiotics he came home and they again said he was fine. but he always had problems with spitting up i put him in his car seat to sleep till he did not fit in it anymore. he had phenomena and milk in both lungs at 5 and again at 6 months he was hospitalized again and after a bit came home all the while he never crawled walked sat up or anything not till after a year and they said he will catch up he will be OK. finally at almost 2 i took him to Kennedy kreiger children's hospital and said he cant talk can barely walk i cant take it anymore please help me and they did a full work up found damage to the white part of the brain, he has cerebral palsy it affects the muscles in his face so he cannot really swallow good or talk good but he can walk and all. he has very low tone. he has awful tantrums very bad rages hair pulling of his own head banging and he is just so autistic they say he is not but he knows where everyone lives and the exact way to get there he knows what he wants and fabric and color trust me if it has to be that way it does or else. he sounds to me like he is mercury toxic he has all the symptoms and they seem to get worse. and sadly to say he got all his immunizations i did not know about all of this until recently and after his last set over the summer he went so loopy more tantrums then ever holding his breathe and everything. i seen on the website that ddi has a hair mercury test you can do at home do you thin i will get the same results from that as i would some other type of test what do you suggest i could use all the help i could get thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
