Wow I haven't written in a month! It seems to just zoom by now that we are back to school and activities! Mason went to the geneticist and the developmental pediatrician this week. The geneticist has recommended a skeletal survey and bone age scan and to see an pediatric ophthalmologist. The skeletal study and bone age were done on Wednesday and now we just have to wait for results. If these come back normal then we are having to "play the waiting game" as I call it and just keep treating the symptoms. There are some things that they can't diagnosis until 4 or 5 years of age. Apraxia is one of those and we have had at the top of the list, but can't be diagnosed until 4/5 and as the geneticist stated there is no test for apraxia and it is not clearly known what causes apraxia. Also his speech therapist at Munroe Meyer says he has the symptoms of apraxia, but is not old enough yet to tell for certain. For now we treat the symptoms . It brings peace to know we have at least ruled out some major syndromes and that we have the BEST team of doctors, therapists and teacher helping us. If you would like info on apraxia go to www.apraxia-kids.org or you can ask me:)
