Tommy

</s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s> </s>

Efter en normal graviditet blev Tommy født 15 dage tidligt den 8/2/009. Ingen problemer ved fødslen, men Tommy var ude af stand til at amme, han viste bare ikke noget tegn på at have nogen sugekraft, men hvis du gav ham flasken, var han fin.

Vi gik hjem fra hospitalet, og jeg udtrykte mælk til Tommy i håb om, at han ville udvikle dygtigheden, men det gjorde han aldrig. Tre måneder gammel så vi børnelægen, fordi Tommy altid holdt hænderne i knytnæveposition, og hans tommelfingre kom aldrig ud. Selvom han var bekymret, sagde han, at det kun var et gennemsnit af, hvornår de holder op med at gøre dette, og Tommy er i slutningen af ​​skalaen. Da Tommy var omkring ni måneder, begyndte vi at blive rigtig bekymrede, fordi han ikke gjorde ting, de andre børn på hans alder var gør. Han hadede at have været på maven, og da jeg satte ham i denne position, græd han og rullede med det samme, han viste ingen interesse i at komme til legetøj. Da vi satte Tommy i siddende stilling efter et par minutter, ville han falde fremad, så vi tog ham til en osteopat. Hun forklarede, at hans rygsøjle endnu ikke havde ændret form fra en baby til et lille barn på grund af manglen på mave tid. Efter et par måneders behandling var Tommy i stand til at sidde alene i lange perioder

I juni 2010, efter lang ventetid og mange test, blev Tommy diagnosticeret med PKS, er hans FISH-analyseresultater: Nuc ish 12p13 (ETV6x4) [6] / (ETV6x2) [94]

Fra det vi forstår viser resultaterne, at 6% af de testede celler har det ekstra kromosom 12. I en alder af 17 måneder var Tommy i stand til at komme i en siddende stilling, det var meget spændende at se ham sidde op i barnesengen alene og lege med hans legetøj. I 18 måneder begyndte Tommy at kommandokravle, og han låste benene lige, når du prøvede at lægge ham ned. Inden for et par uger var Tommy op og kravlede som andre børn, han var så hurtig inden vi vidste det, at han var i den anden ende af huset. Nu i en alder af 2 år kan Tommy gå med dine hænder i lange afstande, men kun kort afstand med den ene hånd, han krydser rundt om sin barneseng og møblerne, kører på en trike og kan spise de fleste ting. Selvom hans tale er begrænset, idet han siger ord som mumie, far, bil, farvel (og bølger), er vi fortsat sikre på, at det vil blive bedre med tiden.

Tommy er et meget elskeligt venligt barn, der elsker at grine og blive kildet. Han er begyndt at bruge nøglesignaler til kommunikation som - finish, mere, mad og drikke. Tommy har altid et stort stort smil og elsker at blive krammet. Hver dag kan vi se forbedringer
