Keperluan Fisioterapi untuk Iman..

Iman dah setahun, khamis lepas saya membawanya berjumpa pegawai perubatan bahagian pendengaran selepas dirujuk oleh pegawai perubatan di Hospital Batu Pahat 8 Jun lepas. Dan bermulalah episod pertama dalam bidang keibubapaan saya apabila saya dikehendaki menghantar anak ke fisioterapi pada 7 Julai ini. Manakala bulan Ogos nanti pula saya dikehendaki menghantar anak ke terapi pertuturan pula.

Jujurnya saya lemah dalam mendidik dan melatih anak-anak. Baru 3 tahun saya berkecimpung dalam hal ehwal melatih anak-anak ni, saYA malas (ataupun sebenarnya hari ini yang saya malas)

"Early Down syndrome physiotherapy focuses on four problems that are common for these children. One is called hypotonia. This means that the child's muscles lack tone. That is why, when you lay a Down syndrome child in his crib, he will flop out like a rag doll. Hypotonia needs to be treated because it affects the ability of the child to learn motor skills or to support himself correctly.

Another problem that can be helped by Down syndrome physiotherapy is laxity of the ligaments. The ligaments are so loose that they do not support the bones adequately. In infancy, it can be seen in the way they lie down with their legs splayed apart. In later years, their ankles and other joints will be loose enough to cause support problems.

Down syndrome physiotherapy is essential in helping these children overcome muscular weakness. If they are not exercised to correct the problem, they will develop behaviors that will make up for their lack of strength. Some of these behaviors may be harmful. For example, they may lock their knees to make up for having weak legs.

One problem these children face is in their body shape. Their arms and legs are generally shorter compared to their trunks than in most people. This leads to all kinds of problems sitting and climbing. Just reaching the table to eat can be a chore. Down syndrome physiotherapy can help with this problem.

In early intervention Down syndrome physiotherapy, the emphasis is on overcoming weakness and learning gross motor skills. Rolling over, sitting, crawling, and walking will all happen eventually, anyway. However, with Down syndrome physiotherapy, they can take place with solid physical foundations.

There is a concern with Down syndrome physiotherapy of parents notifying the doctors of problems that might require the help of a physiotherapist. A parent may be at a loss as to what is to be considered worthy of attention. After all, they already know that their child is not like other children who do not have Down syndrome.

Saya suka menyusukan bayi...

Entry ini agak geli-geleman kot kepada pembaca yang "out of the world of art breastfeeding your child" (saja saya taip dalam English yang berabuk ewhoooshh..) sebab semalam saya terjumpa satu artikel anti breastfeeding dan membacanya pulak...eemmm geram dan rasa cam nak ketok jer komputer @ internet streamyx ni. Kalau saya boleh samakan yang golongan kecil anti breastfeeding dengan gay or lesbian maybe yes..saya guna BI sebab artikel tu dalam BI....Menyusukan anak kan fitrah manusia. Kalau sebenarnya ibu-ibu yang tidak menyusukan anak mereka adalah sebab-sebab musabab masing-masing (at least mereka ada bagi juga) tapi janganlah anti..ANTI cam bunyi anti-dadah la pulak. Dahlah..saya suka menyusukan bayi. Titik noktah...sebab? You all google lah sendiri.

>>Abaikan botol susu MEDELA dan isi kandungan botol susu yang dipegang oleh Ariffin itew..

Gila Bento...New Hobby

Gambar dari website http://kirstencan.typepad.com/kirstencan/2009/06/daiso.html tapi bento ni sebijik macam saya punya. 24 Jun lepas saya pergi Jaya Jusco semata-mata nak pergi Daiso yang seolah-olah fenomena yang berlaku sekarang ini. Pas ni nak cari beras Jepun dan belajar buat nasi kepal pulak macam cerita Oshin dulu2 tu. Puas aku fikir...cukup ke kapasiti nasi lemak yang muat kat bento ni untuk saiz perut mengembang macam saya...Oh ye saya juga ada lunch bag dan getah pengikat bento ini, di samping sebijik lagi bento yang juga semua berwarna pink. (Tak boleh copy orang punya gambar website banyak2--seolah-olah ketuk kepala beli DSLR mahal...yang kau copy gambar orang punya buat apa?) Seolah-olah sekarang saya sedang dikuasai barangan ala2 RM2 Malaysia tapi Made in Japan..eh China gak ni.

Rasa cam nak berhabis ribuan ringgit untuk barang RM5 seunit---Mood>>blurr sejak menjak kena bayar Iman dan Ariff yang sama bayar kereta bulanan Viva ni tiap-tiap bulan.

Ladang Unta di Makkah

Exclusive gambar anak unta dan mama unta. Anak unta menyusu mama unta, jadi mama unta ada banyaakkk susu unta. Mama Unta makan daun-daun import dekat ladang unta. Saya bayangkan ladang unta tu macam ladang lembu atau kambing rupa-rupa hanya sekawan unta yang dijaga oleh penjaga unta dari Sudan. Sedapkah susu unta? Sedap..manis sikit cuma bila tiba-tiba anda minum susu unta segar yang baru sahaja diperah di depan mata anda sedikit tergamam lah tu lah pasal saya hanya meneguk satu kali sahaja, satu mangkuk besi harga Riyal Saudi 5. Pada hal hari-hari saya turun ke kedai runcit depan Hotel Janadriah tu beli susu segar dan Laban..(he he he). Pasal gambar2 ni upload dari tepon Sony ericsoon w200 jer, tu yang jadi kualiti agak kurang tu.

Terbakar!

Hanya Allah sahaja yang tahu betapa terbakarnya hatiku...bila barang-barang kepunyaan aku dibakar oleh orang lain yang tidak punya barang-barang itu. (Seperti Allah tahu betapa Imanku diduga semasa menjaga orang tuaku di Mekah dulu).....Mungkin inilah dugaan daripada 1001 dugaan yang akan kutempuh supaya menjadikan aku lebih dewasa...yang perbuatan membakar itu juga dilakukan oleh orang dewasa. Ada ubi ada batas, lain hari boleh balas. Mood:>> Seperti hari pertama aku dengar yang Iman Syndrome Down sebab aku menyusu Arif semasa mengandung, padahal susu takde masa aku mengandung.

anakku juga hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism in Children with Down Syndrome

Information from Miriam Kauk

Join the Discussion "Do we have any parents of children with Down Syndrome who are also hypothyroid?" Participate Now Related Resources • Hypothyroidism in Infants and Children • Children W/Thyroid Disease Links • Getting What You Need From Your Dr: Challenges of Thyroid Care/ An Interview with "Doc Don" Michael, M.D From Other Guides • Down Syndrome / About Parenting • Down Syndrome in Children / Pediatrics Elsewhere on the Web • Interview with Miriam Kauk Re: Hypothyroidism and Down Syndrome • Miriam Kauk's Web Site • Living Well with Hypothyroidism.

by Mary J. Shomon

Miriam Kauk, a mother of a daughter with Down Syndrome who was also discovered to be hypothyroid is a patient advocate for Down Syndrome. There is a higher likelihood that their children will have underactive thyroids.

Down Syndrome, with its triplication of every gene on an entire chromosome, has been aptly characterized as a cacophony of metabolic errors. One known study reports autopsy findings of abnormal thyroids in virtually every case of Down Syndrome.

As hard as it may be for people with hypothyroidism to find physicians who will treat their condition, it is even harder to find a physician who is willing to intervene in the many treatable aspects of Down Syndrome.

Recommendations Miriam makes for parents of children with Down Syndrome are:

• Pay careful attention to nutritional status, as zinc and other nutrients that are necessary to healthy thyroids are typically low in DS.
• Insist on having bloodwork done to test for TSH, T3 and T4 levels
• Before you approach your doctor, make a careful record of symptoms, including basal body temperature, and changes in growth and function.
• Join nutritionally oriented DS mailing lists and talk to other parents who are seeing positive results in their own children
