12 month corrected developmental assessment?

[LysnDan]

Well it went okay. Although the consultant we seen came across extremely rude and a few things sort of got to me.

For this assessment (it was the Griffiths development assessment)
We were in a room, consultant on one side of desk, DD on my lap facing him on the other side.

He handed over some things and got her to copy his actions, stacking blocks, pulling strings, hiding and finding items etc. she found it quite hard to do some things he was asking. Especially when multiple toys were put in front of her.

He then weighed and measured her. He was happy with the measurements and weight. Which was a relief.

He said she had a umbilical hernia that has repaired itself, (just left with excess skin), but now has a para umbilical hernia which if it isn't gone by the age of 2, they will operate. (that scared the heebies out of me) oh and he also said she has enamel hypoplasia. :-( and said it like I was at fault for her having it... Which I'm not. It's due to it not developing properly because she's prem. I brush her teeth morning and night ... Always have.

He also wants to see her in 3 months for another review to check the ankles. She has poor movement in them and when she's cruising, she toe walks. (he was worried about the mildest forms of Cerebral palsy, which he can't rule out until the age of about 3 or 4) so we will have to go back. He's also very worried about her lung development which we are working closely with her medical team to strengthen and monitor.

All in all, I think she did ok. He will send me the report once he's done. Which I hope is soon. Because I can't help but stress about it.
