hello all,

my story is alot like Christines. my son is 4 now and
had an MRI that read normal, no brain damage. then i
got him an EMG that showed a muscle disorder. i've
been going down some roads trying to get a diagnosis
for him. people tell me there may not be a dianosis.
i refuse to give up on this.


My sons speach is hard to understand (but getting
better) he cannot jump nor get on tippy toes, he has
to hold on the the rail when walking up stairs. he
has a developmental delay and slobbers alot too. the
nuerologist i've seen, prescribed inserts for ankle
and foot support. we have an appt with the CP clinic
at primary childrens hospital in June. i'm so excited!


at birth he too was without oxygen for what seemed
forever and was put into NICU for about 5-6 hours
until he could breath on his own. during the time
that they were working on him trying to get him to
breath, there was talk that the nubane given to me
made him lithargic and the proper meds werent given to
counter act it for the baby. Keegan was also born
with clubfoot on both feet. its been a long road for
us. but like i said. i wont give up.

thanks,
(keegans mom) Sunny
