Brooklynn diagnosed with Hypotonia (poor muscle tone)

So, i have noticed something just not right with brooklynn lately, like she just isn't developing like she should or how i remember jaden developing. I kept pushing it aside saying it was just cuz she was born early etc. but no matter what i tried to say to myself, i kept haveing a feeling like i needed to get her checked out. So i went to the doctors and he agreed that with her small motor skills she was where she should be, but that her large motor skills were behind. He said that she had Hypotonia or poor muscle tone, which is why she is still having trouble with holding her head up and not sitting etc. He suggested "Kids on the move" (who i had actually already called the day earlier) who can help with physical therapy with brooklynn to improve her condition. Also, he said the the flattness of her head was still present because of poor muscle tone because she cant sit up and has a hard time being on her stomach. Fortunately, the flattness on the back of her head as present is not a problem because there is no bulging on her forehead. :) This poor little girl, and all her problems...ahhh alas. Hopefully there isn't anything else that is a problem, but if there is we will handle it :)

Here is a bit more info on what Hypotonia is:

A child is said to have low muscle tone — hypotonia — if his muscles are on the loose, floppy side. You may find it unusually easy to move your child's arms and legs when they are relaxed, or that he seems to slip through your arms when you pick him up. Although hypotonia is not a well-understood phenomenon, children with low muscle tone often have delayed motor skills, muscle weakness, and / or coordination problems.

While low muscle tone in an infant can be caused by a variety of fairly serious problems including hypothyroidism, Down syndrome, or a neurological problem, if your child was not diagnosed with the problem until after his first birthday, his problem is likely to be milder.

Hypotonia is a disorder that causes low muscle tone (the amount of tension or resistance to movement in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength. Recognizing hypotonia, even in early infancy, is usually relatively straightforward, but diagnosing the underlying cause can be difficult and often unsuccessful. The long-term effects of hypotonia on a child's development and later life depend primarily on the severity of the low muscle resistance and the nature of the cause. Some disorders have a specific treatment but the principal treatment for most hypotonia of idiopathic or neurologic cause is physical therapy and/or occupational therapy to help the person compensate for the neuromuscular disability.

Hypotonia is a condition that can be helped with early intervention.
