I was going to mention hypotonia before even reading through the entire post. I'm not sure the correlation between PRS and low tone, but it's a definite possibility here. When you pick him up, under his arms, can you feel his back and torso strength, or does he feel as if he's going to slip through your fingers?? It can't hurt to ask at his well check. Your ped will be able to tell and can direct you. --Previous Message-- : Hi all - my son has PRS/Stickler Syndrome and : will be 6 months old next Monday, March : 17th. He is very big (no feeding/weight : issues), has incredible leg strength : (prefers to stand to anything else), has : age-appropriate fine motor skills (using : both hands, can grab objects), but he has NO : interest in moving (such as rolling) or : sitting. I am less worried about his : sitting, b/c he is not even 6 months yet and : he can do it for about 10 seconds (he just : doesn't really want to) - I am most : concerned that he is not rolling over. : : At 3 1/2 motnhs he flipped front to back : effortlessly, but now HATES to be on his : tummy and really isn't even trying to flip : anymore. Even though he can hold his head : up well, he gets "sad" and kind of : just lays his head down instead of looking : around, reaching for things, or trying to : move/roll over. He loves being on his back, : and is in love with his toes, but has no : desire to try and roll over back to front - : he goes on his side and that's it. : : In my heart of hearts, I don't think there's : a major problem, but I keep reading about : hypotonia (low muscle tone) on this site, as : a condition associated with PRS and I really : don't understand the correlation. : : Can someone explain why low muscle tone is : associated with PRS and also let me know : what you think about my specific concerns? : He goes to doc for 6 month well visit on : 3/18, so I will bring it up then, but would : love your input and/or insight. Thanks! :
