Neuro.

So before all of Rae's weight issues, she was unstoppable. She was crawling by 5 months and stood up at 6. She stood solo at 7 months. She would hold my hands and walk, wobbly of course, but pretty flat footed. She could balance herself equally on both legs.
Then stopped pretty soon after she started standing.
7 months is when she was diagnosed with failure to thrive and all this testing was started.

She'll be 11 months in a week. This is how she is walking now and why we are seeing the neurologist tomorrow. My pediatrician thinks she is losing muscle tone.


You can see her feet go inwards. She walks on the outside of her foot. Her legs cross the other side of her body as she takes a step. And she greatly favors her right leg, it can bare way more weight than the other one.
The more she walks the worse it gets. This was the first video we took, by the third she was just wanting to sit.
This scares me.
It wouldn't scare me if she had always done this, but this is new. This is just in the past few months that this has started. She used to be able to walk with a walker and cannot anymore.
I guess we will see what the Neurologist thinks.
