I don't usually post much, but I am asking for people to pray for my child. He is 11 months old and is developmental delayed in motor skills. I had him evaluated by a physical therapist and she suggested I take him to a neurologist to "rule out" the possibility of something. By "something" I know she is referring to Cerebral Palsy. He displays some symptoms of this condition. I.e. he drags one of his legs when he crawls and is quite rigid, didn't sit up until 9 months, etc.
We already have a child with autism. I almost feel like I am reliving the experience all over again. I have been to many meetings with professionals who subtly hint that something is wrong with my child. Being that I have been in this position before, it is very apparent to me that there is a very real possibility that I will have another child with a disability.
I know our Lord never gives us a cross we can not handle, but I am very afraid, worried, and I am doing everything I can to help my child, including getting therapy started now, and making that appointment to see the neurologist. Please pray for my husband, my children and I.

How is your son doing? I haven't seen any news. I have a friend who was concerned about his son's apparent developmental delay because he was not reaching out to touch moving objects in front of him. But now he's going on 3 and doing much better.
.
I hope you have some good news to report.

FWIW the system asked me if I was sure I didn't want to "start a new topic" since this one is over a year old.......... computers!
