[QUOTE="therese005us, post: 304450, member: 7416"] I just looked up Fragile X! Those people must have been in my house! It all fits like a glove (haven't checked the palm of her hand yet though). I'm going to ask the Paediatrician on Monday about doing a test; then persuade Mom to get the other two tested as well. Chances are...... going through all the symptoms was amazing, even the heart thing....she had heart surgery as a baby... The most distressing though is this: [B]Toilet training[/B] Toilet training with most children is a challenging task, and with children who have fragile X syndrome, it can be a long and frustrating experience. Many children with fragile X, especially boys, are delayed in their toilet training, due to their overall developmental level. Some also seem to have a poor sense of their bodily cues. Bowel training seems to be especially difficult for some children. Hypotonal muscle problems may cause an immature sphincter muscle, which affects bowel control. The child may not sense that he needs to have a bowel movement until it is too late. Poor eating habits may contribute to loose stools, or to constipation, which exacerbate the bowel problem further If this is true, then this poor little cherub has been enduring medication and discomfort which possibly has increased the problem.... and her stress levels...... OH My! [/QUOTE]
