~6 yrs PTIE, Pt was hospitalized for 2 wks d/t pneumonia and increased blood sugar. 2 weeks after hospitalization, pt.
was rushed to the hospital d/t seizures.
~5yrs PTIE, when pt was 11 mos, Pt’s mother noticed that her child was delayed in gross motor compared to other kids
and had her child medically Dx with GDD. Pt. received PT treatments for ~a year and then stopped.
~2yrs ago, pt. received PT treatments for ~a year in UPM and then stopped.
At present, pt presents c weakness in (B) LE and pelvis, moves by mermaid crawling, cannot stand and walk c
