[QUOTE="vtheartmama, post: 403434, member: 10980"] slsh- he's never had an MRI..I'm guessing the pediatrician. would only do it if really necessary as he'd have to be sedated and it's so risky..he was delayed as a baby with his physical development and had to have PT..once he started though he was on a roll! His right side has always been weaker and he falls a lot but the old P.T didn't worry about it too much, he has a new referral for a PT as of today though. His motor development has always been on track but I noticed lately his hands have been unsteady/shaky. Also since about 8 months ago he has started to do this thing with his fingers where they are overlapped and he just walks around like that..I can't even make my fingers do it unless I physically put them in that position, his pinky goes over his ring finger, his index finger goes over his middle finger and all sorts of different combos and sometimes when he puts his hands out to show me something his fingers are contorted at all angles.
