My twin grandsons turned 7 months jan. 4 . They were born june 4, 2003
6 weeks early with only minor problems. 3lb. 15oz.
They are thriving for the most part. I was concerned about one of them. He had a space between his big toe and second toe and a crease in his palms. I had heard this was a sign of downs. Their doctor is amazed at their progress though. Today they weighed in at 14.5 and 14.12 the doctor said they have now caught up with other babies their age. Motor skills are great and are up on hands and knees trying to crawl. Then he said he wanted to set up a test for one of them (the one I was afraid had downs. He said his head had grown a little too fast and was concerned about hydrochephalus. Can anyone out there tell me about this condition and can it turn into cerebral palsey?
