Guest guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 The head control was a problem for us. Micah is now 4. We just worked with him. We would hold toys up high, practice sitting up, ect... He eventually got the hang of it. It took a little more time than it would with a typical child, but he got it! We had the sleep issues and unfortunately, STILL have that issue. It is something that cant be explained (from what neuro says). They diagnosed Micah with night terrors but I honestly dont think thats the case. So we are stuck being awake (and waking up) right along with him. It is very exhausting but not much we can do. I haven't heard anything about teeth taking longer to come in.. I would as the pediatrician and possibly as your dentist.

I'm relatively new but I have read here that there are a lot of PMG kids whose teeth do not come in until later. It's just a guess on my part, but I would think it has a lot to do with them not eating/chewing therefore not exerting pressure on their gums to help the process along. Brie, my granddaughter, is 3 months old and her speech and language therapist says it's important to give them teethers even if it seems like they aren't teething. She suggests smooth and bumpy teethers or anything (including your fingers) that has differing textures to provide stimulation for them. I'm sure seeing your dentist wouldn't hurt anything. Have you seen a speech therapist? Brie also has trouble holding her head up but she is working with physical therapy and occupational therapy. She has low tone and needs regular therapy to help her gain control of her head and trunk as well as to become coordinated with her hands and arms. Therapy is SUPER important so if you haven't had the opportunity to start therapy, you should try to get it as soon as possible. Do you have an Early Intervention Program where you live? It takes a LOT of work and fighting for what our kids need. It's sad that it takes so much but if WE don't make a stand for them, then the government, insurance companies, even their doctors are content to just let things go when they should be stepping up to help. I have read on here a lot about sleep disorders so I would recommend you go back through the messages and see what people said. Brie is so young so right now it's not a noticeable concern. I pray it never is! Anyway..hope this helps some. Please feel free to let us know how we can help. Hugs, Catrina - Brie'Gram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 My son didn't start getting his teeth until around 2 years old. He also had poor head control. At around 15months we got him theratogs, his pt measured him. He was able to sit up for a few minutes at a time before falling over. I feel like if it wasn't for the theratogs he would have never sat up. To: polymicrogyria From: rarmilla@...
