What is hypotonic CP?
Hypotonia is diminished muscle tone. The infant or child with hypotonic CP appears floppy -- like a rag doll. In early infancy, hypotonia can be easily seen by the inability of the infant to gain any head control when pulled by the arms to a sitting position (this symptom is often referred to as head lag). Children with severe hypotonias may have the most difficulty of all children with CP in attaining motor skill milestones and normal cognitive development.
Hypotonic CP is often the result of severe brain damage or malformations. It is believed that hypotonic CP is the result of an injury or malformation at an earlier brain developmental stage than that which causes spastic or choreoathetoid CP.
Hypotonia in infancy is a common finding in many neurological conditions, ranging from very mild abnormalities to severe, fatal neurodegenerative or muscle disorders. It is important to note that many children with spastic CP go through a short stage of being somewhat hypotonic.
Yikes, I never realized there was several different types of CP. I mean, I knew there was several, but not as many as I read! eek

But i made it all better i got him a fisherprice talking singing bus and cotton candy. All is forgiven xd thanx

The tubes being placed usually make em fussy for about a week or so from the insision and such... my advice baby tylenol 3nodding and they sell warm packs for earache and those can help as well...give little guy a hug and i hope he feels better for his sake and your sanity xd heart

how's your little guy doing? i hope he's doing well........love your xmas outfit, it's so cute!! yesterday he was fussy only once for 40 minutes........i tried everything i could but to make him calm down, but nothing i did worked..... sweatdrop ......so hopefully today there won't be any ephisodes (sp?)........ugh, i was so mad when i went to wic, ben was fussy and i had to wait 40 minutes before i could get in, i was about ready to get up and tell the receptionist to reschedule me a time where i could get in without it being so late after my scheduled appointment and that i have other engagements, so if you can't get me in now, i'll come back some other ( i was so angry)......and then as i was standing up to go over there, they finally called my name............. scream darnit, and i was oh so ever looking forward to telling them that........ scream .......in my haughty/rude/educated/snootty tone of voice............oh well...there's always next time right? xd mrgreen .........so i hope you have a good one today and all is well there.......

OMG, don't get me started on how much I hate going to the WIC office. I still qualify for it, but I stopped going, it was that bad. First off, there was so many bratty children and nasty children there. I mean, these poor kids looked like they haven't been bathed in a week, and they liked to shove Logan down. Then, when I go they act like they just don't care and treat me like crap when it came to things. Like when you fill out what he eats in a given day, they are like "He's supposed to be eating more." Well, sheez, that's the world of toddlers, they DON'T eat as much as they should. Ugh, that and it was always way too much food for him, so I quit going. Maybe it's just here, when I was in SC, they were so nice I guess because it was such a small town. They even gave you a free book everytime you came in. That and here in Texas you can't get Juicy Juice, I hate that!!

WIC seem to focus only on certain things, like Lissa she drinks about a gallon of fluid each day practically. She LOVES to drink, milk, juice, water, eggnog, sparkling cider, if it's in a cup she'll chug it practically. Well she drinks about 16 oz. of water a day and 8-10 oz of juice and 4-6 oz of milk. I mean she just absolutely loves to drink, well they see how much juice she drinks and are like, oh she drinks FAR too much juice, you should get her to drink water, I'm like she has a cup of water ALL day that I constantly refill, did you not READ that. She just drinks A LOT of everything!
