Hi a

Olivia had poor head control her first year, she didn't start PT

until she was about 8mos. she sat unassisted around 10 mos., and

began crawling around 15/16mos., she feeds herself haven't had many

problems with that except she use to gag way more than typical kids

and she still cannot eat foods that are hard Carrots, apples etc. She

is unable to walk on her own but is so close!!! She has an older

sister Kaela who is 4 1/2, they get along great well just like any

siblings. Olivia is very bright, independent, and determined if she

wants to do something she will find a way to accomplish it, great

problem solving! No seizures, but has had episodes or spells at 8

mos,17 mos, 25 mos. of facial twitching eye rolling but we have never

caught any seizures and she doesn't seem bothered by these spells,

thank God! Anyway I try not to worry to much about chances of having

another child with PMG, figure its out of our hands just curious what

life is like having two kids with disability or having a " typical "

child after already having a child with PMG
