Neurology appointment for baby

My 6 month old Chloe had a neurology appointment. I wasn't sure what to expect and I was a little bit nervous. Although she's not showing any signs of anything being wrong, she does have an extensive medical history, a long hypopoxic event and a chromosome deletion (part of the long branch of the 19th chromosome). We are still not sure of the significance of that deletion. Here is what happened during her first neurology visit.

  First the doctor asked all about her history, family history, diagnosis, etc. She also did a physical exam. She wanted to see her head control, how she does with tummy time, eye contact, following objects, etc. Chloe did good but she did get a little bit fussy from being messed with. She noted how active she was, a good thing right?

  After that Chloe had an EEG. The hard part was trying to keep chloe still for so long. Luckily, she actually fell asleep! Her EEG came back great!! no unusual activity. That was very comforting.

  In the end the doctor said we need to start occupational therapy. Chloe is low tone in the core and slightly delayed because of her vision being so bad and from everything she has been through. I was a little sad to hear that but I am determined to help my daughter catch up. Its not her fault, she's not slow she's actually very smart. Chloe just didn't have a normal start at life like most babies.
