Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hello everyone - great group you have here - I've been able to learn quite alot reading many of the posts. I have a son, , who we suspect may have RSS. He is 18 1/2 months old and was originally classified with 'global delay'. Meaning both his motor and congitive skills are delayed. Here is a list of some of the things that can do ... - army crawl on the ground - enter and exit a sitting position at will - climb over obtacles 1 foot high - pull to a stand occasionaly (on his own) - appears to understand some words (up, outside, spit that out) - he plays some face making games and looks for things he's dropped Here is a list of things he can not YET do ... - respond to his name or " where's mommy / daddy " - clap hands - stack blocks - talk more than a bable - plus many more things (unfortunately) His eating in the first 6 months was difficult (many gags and spit ups) but he has been much better the past few months. He now weighs 20 pounds (was 5lb 13oz at birth). He is hypotonic as well. He is in OT/PT and goes for an MRI (CAT was clear)and genetics test in september to may tell us more. I have posted two pictures of in the photos section if you want to see him. So ... after this long winded note ... I would like to know ... 1. Does this sound like RSS? 2. Does his picture look like an RSS child? 3. Do his delays sound 'normal'? I am certain he will walk (maybe by 3 years) and I hope people can give me more confidence that he'll catch up mentally. Thanks in advance! Greg (of barbngreg) P.S. As the pictures show .. he is a very, very happy child! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
