Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I was into see our peditrician for my sons one year check up. I'm catching up on vaccinations, they seem to have more than I remember with my last child so I have refused two. At any rate I read in a book on DS that at 1 year a child should have a thyroid test done, he had one when he was born it was fine and he doesn't show any signs that it should be a concern right now. I've also read that he should have a neck xray not sure what it is called. But after meeting w/ the ped. she said no for the xray when he is three and for the thyroid another year unless we suspect there is an issue. Is this right? I have no ped that sees many children with DS so not sure how accurate her information is. also since I'm writing, we are buying a summer home in the US (we are americans but live and work outside of the US) and will spend a few months out of the year there. Possibly might have to live there full time depending on schooling here is there anything I need to do to register my son for services? If so where do I go? thanks ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
