That is sign hypotonia - low muscle tone. Elliott has low truncal

tone. He is strong as an ox, too, but aparently low tone doesn't

really have anything to do with strength. But it can and does affect

breath suppport which affects speech.

Competitive swimming. Get him into a team. Its a great way to make

friends, too. Then when he is a bit older, Jr High or so, try to find a

youth rowing program. When boys are involved in either of these two

sports when the growth spurt of puberty hits, you will find them

shooting through shirt sizes like you would not believe. Both are great

general conditioning and cardiovascular workouts, too.

We had problems with swimming. I really wanted Mark to do it because it was a

great sport but he could never really get beyond a certain level when he was a

kid because he couldn't kick with a straight leg. He always bent it at the

knees when he kicks. When he swims, he tends to be a bit of a dolphen and

spends a lot of time swimming under water.

Does anybody else notice that their child does this, kick with a bended knee and

not 'get' how to keep it straight? If you ever resolved it, I would sure love

to know what you did. It would be great to get back into swimming classes but

Mark is having 'none of it' since he got quite frustrated with his lack of

progression.

Perhaps now that he is a few years older, he can learn the technique. I shall

try with him at the pool tomorrow..... when we go to Mexico for vacation!....

YEAH!!!

Janice,

I have not tested it but I am pretty sure milk or gluten is behind

that. I used to do amateur triathlon and could never do the swim. I

was actually beaten out by a one-armed swimmer because of this very

issue. I took a swim class with Terry Loughlin and was filmed so I

know I do this. I think it was the bone thing in my right hip that

resolved with milk loss (I think it was c and not G) so it may simply

take time.

:)

I have but not since the celiac and milk allergy discovery. So much

is easier now lets hope swimming is part of this. Once summer hits

(we are in NJ) I will try your tips. Thanks much!
