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

(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.
