: 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!
