Re: Vomiting; doctor recommendation (NJ)

[Guest guest]

Wow, your son sounds a little like my daughter, Jaynie! She is 21 months and we

are still working on walking. Some days she will walk a few steps several times

in a row, other days (like today) she won't take any steps. She looks like she

has poor tone in her face as well. Her face kinda of " sags " and she eats poorly.

She drinks more than she eats. Other times she will (though this is rare) wolf

the food down. Textures and temperature are not a problem here either. Vomiting

is not a problem. Her fine motor skills are fine as well. We go see a

neurologist next Friday for the first time. I have had 2 PT's say she has low

tone.

What has your son been diagnosed with? Our children sound familiar

Also, if anyone can tell me exactly what are the symptoms of apraxia?

Thanks!
