Hi  to all!!!     M y name is sherrie. My son Hunter was born at  31 weeks via c-section.  He has severe acid  reflux and was diagnosed with White Matter Disease at around 7 weeks old.  He is developmentally delayed about a year and  a half  in almost every way.  When he was about a year  and a half  old he went to see his pediatrician and i expressed my  concern over the fact that he was not yet  walking and  he assured me that it was normal and told me i jus had "first time mom" worry.  Well going with my gut instinct i took hunter to see another pediatrician and he was suprised that not only was he not  in any thereapy for walking that he had never even tried to make a sound like he was anywhwere near preparing to talk.!  So with that said we started speech and OC thereapy immediatly!  Now hunter still has reflux and is still delayed due to the disease, but he has progressed TREMENDOUSLY over this past year. He will start to school next year . And more than likely will always be in sp ed for the delay but he has come so far. so i just wanted to say that doctors dont know everything , and if you feel like you need  another opinion or  something jus doesnt add up , go with your gut feeling cause most of the time its right.!!!!!!     We will always see a  neuro- specialist  but now i feel we are on the right track to helping him.     thank you for this group.  It is wonderful to know you are not alone out there!!!   God Bless each and every one of you!!!!
