First let me apologize for any cross posting.
This is what I have a question on. The re-evaluation of Zachary states over and over again "decreased or decreasing muscle tone in trunk and extremities, especially in the hands. And decreased strength for age. What are they meaning ? Is this going to continue or what ?
They also stated " anterior pelvic tilt, mild protruding abdomen with an associated increased lumbar lordosis, mild pronation bilateral feet." Can someone please tell me what all of this means ?
The therapist keep wanting to "correct" his sensory issues and strengthen him. But according to his doctors because of his diagnosis his muscle tone will probably not increase much from where it is now. And if his strength and tone is decreasing what could be causing all of this.
I still think he is having a malabsorbtion problem. His GI and Genetic doctor have mentioned this in the past, but they seemed to have put it on the back burner for now. He has not regained the weight he lost during his last hospital stay, and I cannot get him to eat any more than he is now. Any suggestions ?
Thanks guys, you are all a God send to me.
