Something happened to Ian.....

Ian will be 1 in a week. 3 weeks ago, we brought him to see Dr. Sim( a new PD) as he has not been hitting his developmental milestones. At 11 months, Ian is not able to sit on his own, crawl and he does not have pincher-grasp. We always thought that he will develop in his own time. He is just plain lazy etc,etc....Then Dr. Sim checked his head circumference and found that his head has not grown in the last couple of months. Doc was worried. He immediately refered us to Penang General Hospital to see the Child Paediatric neurologist, Dr. Vicky.
Dr. Vicky ordered a CT scan to see if Ian's head plates has closed. If is closes too early, it will stop head growth. The scan came back as negative. 2 days after the scan, Ian had a couple of seizures. Hubs and I immediately rushed him to Island hospital. Dr. dan (Ian's doc) ordered a EEG, MRI and blood tests. My poor baby was drugged and put through these tests.
He was very cooperative during his 2 days in the hospital. His EEG did not detect any seizures so Dr. Dan discharged us.
That evening, Ian's seizures came every 1 1/2 hrs. His seizures does not last long, probably abt 15 secs maximum. However after the seizure, he'd be so scared and so disoriented that it breaks my heart just to see him like that.
The very next day, we checked into Penang GH to see the Dr. Vicky again. This time, the EEG detected some mild seizures. She put Ian on medication to monitor the situation. Ian stayed at the hospital for a nite. The next day, he was given a clean bill of health and was sent home. Ian will be on the seizure medication for a year to curb the seizures.
Whilst waiting for the blood and urine test results, I have applied for a year leave to stay home and take care of Ian. Hubs and I figured it's the best we can do for now. Ian will be going for Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy to bring him up to date.
As of today, Dr Sim checked that his head has grown a bit and he has begun to creep on the floor. Hopefully in a few months, he will be crawling and sitting on his own.
Only time will tell. I am praying that he is just taking his time developing and at the end of it all, both of us will be triumphant in this journey.
