Hi, my name is Stephanie and I just found this board. My son is 14
months and up until 12 months he seemed to be hitting all of his
milestones. I have been concerned about his unability to stand alone
or walk. He also has some speech delay but that is another story. I
decided to call Early Intervention to have an assement done on my son.
The first thing she noticed was that he sits in the "W" position. He
can crawl, pull him self up, and cruise. He can climb up and down
stairs. Hovever, he cannot stand alone or walk. He is very wobley and
falls down. His legs tire easily and go weak/limp. He also side steps
alot instead of walking forward.

I took him to the Dr. yesterday and voiced my concerns. After
examining my son, she said he thinks he has "loose hips". She said we
should start physcial therapy as soon as possible. She told me she did
not know the extent of it, and she did NOT recommend x-rays at this
point.

I think I left there with more questions than answers. It seems odd to
me there were no x-rays done? Should I have a second oponion? Please,
any advice you can give would be a great help.

Thanks!
