Eric and I always worried about Maggie. From the moment she was born... we just knew that something wasn't right.
She didn't cry right away when she was born. The doctors and nurses had to work really hard to get her to cry and really breathe. She was making that Stridor sound from day one... then diagnosed with a floppy windpipe.
She didn't hold her head up as early as she should have... she didn't sit alone until 8 months old (most babies crawl at that age of development) and finally, by the age of 1, Maggie still wasn't crawling!
When we took her to her one year check up at the Pediatrican's office, he told us that we needed to see a Neurologist right away. Something wasn't right and he didn't know what it was... but he did say that she was Hypotonic. This was the first time we had ever heard that word.
