Guest guest Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 How low is his muscle tone???? I haven't done any research on the side effects of repeat MRIs, so I can't comment. But lots and lots of RSS and SGA kids have very low muscle tone. No brain injuries. Just some inherent part of being RSS?SGA. Jenn > Our 13 month old is having an MRI done next week.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 (and ) had a stack of MRI's done when they were first born. They told us the kids had something that could lead to something that could be cerebral palsy. They then took about 4 more MRI's over the next couple of weeks until they said everything was OK. I know that the neurologist talked about doing another one when was about 9 months old, but it never happened.
