Hello! Well Michael Angelo is now almost 17 months old, and is still doing his arm flapping, wrist turning and hand waving a lot. I am beginning to think one of his wrists is double jointed too...
Well we had his appointment a few weeks back at Childrens Hospital again in Boston. This time she was very complete in his exam... she was very interested in what he was doing.
I had informed her about another thing i noticed... only sometimes. He seems to space out, its hard to explain so i will tell you a quick story. My sister was babysitting him 1 day for me for like an hour, and he was sitting on her floor playing with a big truck. He had it on his lap upside down, so he could spin the wheels. (He LOVES to spin wheels). She said he all of a sudden laid down on it (while still in the sitting position) and just laid there blank faced. She was calling his name, waving her hand in front of his face and he just had a blank stare. She even picked him up, and he stayed in the sitting position, them seemed to "snap" out of it... and then got scared like he didnt know how he got up in her arms. He has done this a couple times at home.
She seemed concerned about these trances and his arm flapping bouts... so she scheduled him for an EEG downstairs that same afternoon.
That was the hardest thing i have ever had to do.
Holding his arms while they glued all these electrodes to his head was terrible... i felt horrible and complete sadness for my little man. The good news was he went right to sleep afterwards... i was totally surprised.
I guess everything was normal... they found nothing wrong. I am a little upset becuase he did not do any of my concerns while we were having the exam done.
We go back December 29th. She wants to keep monitoring him, and i am very happy about that.
