I had a normal pregnancy and delivery. Hayden was born July 5, 2008. I noticed she used her left hand more, but around 6 months she began keeping her right hand fisted. She was sitting up around 7 months. She got around by rolling at first, then commando crawling. At 9 months I requested physical therapy, although we didn't start till 12 months. She is 13 months now. She is opening her right hand more and getting up on all fours and crawling just a couple feet before dropping down and crawling on her stomach, dragging her right leg. She started pulling up about 2 weeks ago on her own. She seems normal otherwise and is trying to talk. She has no jerky movements or anything. She just has weakness on her right side. She has no drooping in her face. I think she might have CP and am considering having an MRI. Although she is improving, I am getting so anxious wondering what is wrong and if there is more we should be doing.(like if she has another diagnosis).Does Hayden sound like Tyler?
