Default Your baby

Hi,
I am 98% sure I may know what is wrong with your baby...
Altantoaxial Instability!
It is classic what you posted! And they can return to walking..
But the problem will return! Very important to get check out..
The reason they stop walking is compression on spinal cord..
They can be born with a defect that alow the C1 and C2 to shift..

If baby has AAI.. they will be down again... as this will shift again..
I do not want to scare you.. but this shift can cause respiratory failure.
and sudden death if spinal cord is severed..

Mine fell many more times, and this never happened but I have read that it can.. so wanted to caution you... This is a correctable condition!

Please fell free to contact me... This condition is often not diagnosed...
I was seen by many vets before finding the Dx... I can name 3 others
that had the same thing.. going to many vets..
Nell.. email address: juannell@msn.com... Please contact me any time...
