17 month old grandson with polymicrogyria

February 13, 2002

Still not walking or crawling, What are some good ideals for learning?

He works with PT 3 times a week. The whole family working with him.

My son has epolipsy, and our daughter died at 18 months with what

they called toxoplasmosis, with grand mall seizures. She was blind

also. I whish there was a way to tell if all this is connected.

good bye for now.

Our son is 9 months old and is not really crawling

yet- he creeps with great difficulty. Is your grandson

sitting up? Our PR suggested several things for

to experience movement:

1. A backpack to put him in so when we walk around

etc. he feels the movement. This also is supposed to

help balance and help him some visually.

2. Weightbearing exercises for arms and legs-which I'm

sure you and the PT are doing.

3.Interesting environment to motivate him. Being

around other kids who walk/crawl.

4. Leaving him alone on a mat to explore on his own

the toys around him.

As far as a link, it could all be related. Your son

with the epilepsy might have some evidence of PMG.

Good luck.
