Hi Valerie

How old is Allison? She sounds very similar to Chiara, she is 16 mths now, and
her dimensions are similar, (+ very long legs)
She isn't quite rolling yet, but the physio was talking to me about a frame for
her legs to get strength in them. She also babbles alot and smiles alot. Again
doesn't play with toys but loves to look at the lighted ones, she has severe
cortical visual impairment. Chiara also has bad constipation as well, and has
to have lactuose morning and night and sometimes suppositories. pool little
things!!! I am not aware of dental problems though she has 12 teeth but she
does suffer badly when they come out (off her food, dribble and fingers in the
mouth) .Does a jaw tooth mean a double? is this an american term - sorry to
seem thick (I'm British)!! Chiara has 4 doubles. She grinds them badly though.
Love to hear more. Or anyone with similar symptoms.

Suzanne (Chiara's mum)

Hi everyone.. I just thought I would tell you a little more about
Allison. She is a bugger... She is 12 lbs. and is 251/2 inches long.
Her head circ. is 34.5cm, when she was born, it was 28.3 cm.. The
Docs. are concerned because she has craneocenostosis.(soft spots have
fused early) Her brain isn't growing fast enough to push her skull
out.
Allison rolls all over the place. She will set if you set her
there.She doesn't play with toys, but loves to look at the lighted
ones. She loves to swing. She does babble a little, and she laughs if
tickled. She has a very funny sound when she is happy.I can't even
spell the sound.
Allison is it Pt,ST,OT. They are going to put her in a giraffe
stander next mon. and than put her in a walker soon. the only problem
is that she is so small. She has very long legs.
Allison also has constipation. She has a bowel movement every
2/3 days. They have tried, lactolose and milk of mag. nothing seems
to really help. But it seems to be getting softer.
I have one question for everyone.... Does anyone's kids have
dental problems. Allison just got her first teeth. both came in at
one time. the only problem is that the third one came in and it is a
jaw tooth...This is just so weird.
Please contact me and let me know. Thanks:
Valerie(Allison's mom)
