We got the letter today from the hospital about his last appointment.
It basically goes through what was discussed in the clinic. I think i have been holding onto the little bit of hope that he doesn't have cerebal palsy but it is written on paper now he does. The letter also goes onto say he will be sent for a mri, hearing tests and his referrals to Beacon House, Early Intervention and dietician.
Also goes onto say that she thinks his delayed gross motor skills and oromotor skills are linked.
I actually feel quite down about it all. My child now has a label which I know in the grand scheme of things doesn't matter but he will never be "normal". He will always need some sort of help.

Just love him for who he is and give him all the cuddles and kisses one could ever ask for! Take care, Amber!
