Re: Re: If your child had an MRI, what did it show?

I'm sorry - by fish oil I was meaning the ProEFA. I have

squeezed 1 capsule in her orange juice every morning with

her breakfast. I call it " brain food " she's 4 and seems to take

it without any problems. It's been about 3 months and she is

contiuosly " trying " to say more although most words are still

not understandable. She can sound out all letters, but has trouble

putting them in even simple words - like boo, bye, dog..etc.

She has said about 3 sentences since starting her on the fish oil.

That's more than promising for me to keep going )

we end up doing this, I want to know if there would be any change in course

because of it or are we basically at square one again. I can't afford expensive

treatments like neurofeedback, so is there any sense in getting an MRI?

My daughter has apraxia and hypotonia. She had an MRI at 18 months and again at

almost 3. Both came back insignificant. She has also had some genetic testing

which has also come back normal.

she is now 3 and progressing every day.

My 7dd has had many MRI's for Hydrocephalus. they've never been ordered because

of her Apraxia. If you find a good Ped Neuro--they can order an CT or MRI and it

will be covered by insurance if the doctor orders it.

Just talking to the Ped Neuro might get some answers without going thru that

kind of testing.
