The Boys

Henry had is 18 month check up today! I cannot believe he is that old already!  He is getting big - 75th percentile height, 33 inches and 25th percentile in weight, 24 pounds.  He is doing really well, only issues are a current ear problem causing fever and his milk allergy, otherwise he is doing great!!!  He still won't stop playing with all electronics and plugs and will go to great lengths to get them. Henry climbs, runs, escapes, laughs and babbles non stop.  He is one happy little boy :)

Robbie also had an appointment today to discuss his reaction to peanut butter.  We are now to carry benadryl and an epi pen with us now and hope he grows out of it.  He is doing well, very sleepy and still recouping from his sleep deprivation :)

EEG / Neurologists Results

sleep deprived and ready

The EEG went well.  Robbie was not happy to have all the electrodes (25) pasted to his head and then have his head wrapped in gauze but he did well.  It only took him about 5 minutes to fall asleep thanks to the sleep deprivation :)

After the test we went to lunch and the store, then back to the dr for the results.  The EEG showed abnormal activity while awake and asleep.  The Dr said this means he is at risk for having seizures (not that he currently is).  We are to just keep an eye open for it and he said we would know it if we saw it.  We are also to keep a close eye on him while he is climbing, playing on the playground equipment, swimming, etc., anywhere where if a seizure occurs he could be hurt.  The Dr said he may never have one but we now know it is a possibility.  He also said this could be contributing to his learning delays but not connected to his hypotonia.  They did an autism screening as well and that in combination with the Dr’s interaction, they do not believe he is autistic but close and with continuing the path of therapy and improvement he is on even that may be erased.

We go back for a follow up in 6 months to discuss any changes or improvements that we note in him. 

 Happy boy after lunch
