You are a good soul to be looking out for the welfare of this baby.

They are doing a muscle biopsy this next week. She has had an auditory test and eye test that indicate that she is having neurological issues in those areas, she had a recent MRI, and the preliminary results did not show any obvious issues such as lesions or masses. The thing is she hit all the expected milestones until about 9 months and then she just stopped and some issues seem to have gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. Part of the problem is she has not been in a very stable environment until recently and we are not sure what she was subjected to prior to that.
