| Thanks for Answering my earlier query. Accordingly, I understand that my child has severe microcephaly (small head) due to the birth asphyxia.
With no development of milestones at even 5 months of age and early closure
of the fontanelle (soft spot) on the skull, her prognosis is poor. She
seems to have developed cerebral palsy.
Now in her eigthth month, her activities include crying for Milk or if when she needs her diaper to be changed, saying "hu-goo" and when someone whistles she smiles and plays. She can hold up her head and can roll over when in mood. But she does not sit without support or crawl. Trust that you can answer my further queries :
1) Why do her palms and feet turn light blue sometimes for 10 to 15 minuites ( 3 to 4 times a week). Her head has grown only 2 cms since her birth.
2) Now after 8 months she has started to have some convulsions (10 seconds, about 3 to 4 times daily). They continued for a week and then stopped. Will giving Gardinal stop these convulsions permanently? If not given timely, will it damage her brain or other activities more ?
3) We have started her physotherapy since last 2 months, but response is not very encouraging. Will she be able to walk ?
4) If I plan for a second child, will she/he again be a CP
Thanks in advance. |
