Question
My daughter is 3 and half years old. She is a vacuum baby. At the time of delivery, her mother was given the injection for painless delivery. After delivery my baby became blue and she had been kept in front of Halogen light for heat. She was not kept under incubator. After 8 months we noticed that her eyes are squient and we went to the eye specialist and at that time he told that her optic nerve was pale and she is not able to see. She got a feet at the age of 1 year. Presently, she cannot sit properly, she can't stay or walk. She still crowls. Sometimes she picks up a very small thing which is somewhat far away from her and sometimes she cannot see even a big thing put in front of her. She can follow the instructions what we say to her. She speaks certain words. She also picks up certain words from the sentences what we say. She is undergoing physiotherapy treatment. Whether she is having C.P.? If yes, what is the degree of C.P? How severe it is? Is there any curability? Is it possible that this can happen due to vacuum or she became blue after birth? What about her schooling? Kindly give me the answer as soon as possible. Thanks.
Answer
Your child seems to have delayed milestones which from your history of (turning blue and not crying at birth) seems to be birth related and could cause cerebral plasy. The severity would depend on the amount of improvement with physiotherapy. Back to All Questions
