Sorry for cross posting.

Zachary went to the neuro today for his recheck.  He said he seems to be doing fine, "Has all the basic skills down, anyway, the walking, fussing, throwing."
Then I began the questions.  
First I asked him can there be any classification that we could put Zachary under ?  He said not really since they do not know what caused Zachary's conditions.  I told him the reason was because the OT told me last week, "If we have documentation of CP things would be different"  He said " I can give him a dx of CP easy, all CP is ,is an umbrella term for children who have a muscle coordination, and muscle tone problem caused by a brain injury or abnormality that is not progressive, and that Zachary is."  Should I call him and tell him to go ahead and give the "official" dx of CP or not ?
He also could not tell me weather or not Zachary is going to be MR or not, still too early to tell, but he said the toe walking and the severe delay in speech and oral motor skills is a sure sign of learning disability.
So there goes our six month visit.
