Well Carsyn is turning 8 months old next week, but with all of his sicknesses and stuff he just had his 6 month well baby visit.
On the left is from his 4 month and right is today: {4 months total apart}
15lbs {75th %tile} / 15lbs 9oz {3rd %tile}
24 1/4 inches {85th %tile} / 25 1/2 inches {3rd %tile}
39cm head circ. / 42cm head circ.
Would sit up for a few seconds at 4 months, still the same. He will still not sit up good. He throws his hands up and throws himself backwards. The doctor said he does not have good torso control at all. She suggested that he sees a physical therapist. They are suppose to call tomorrow for an appointment. I am also going to talk to the Parents as Teachers lady about early intervention.
Here are my concerns: He has not really grown in 4 months. Going from 85th/75th to 3rd %tile is NOT okay. He has not reached any new milestones. If I lay him on the floor he will just lay there. He doesn’t try to roll or move to get something.
Someone told me about something called Angelman Syndrome this evening. Have you ever heard of it? Carsyn has all of the major symptoms besides the not talking. He does babble. One of the symptoms that stuck out to me is unusually happy/smiling. He smiles ALL the time.
Anyways I am going to talk to the Parents as Teacher lady tomorrow to see what she thinks. I have really worried myself by looking up information. The internet is great, but bad for a concerned mom. At least the doctor did recognize that something is wrong and that I am not crazy. I just want answers. I feel like I am always asking but please pray for Carsyn. Thank you for all your help.
