hi everyone im new to the site and just wondered if somebody can help or has anyone experianced the same thing.
Well to cut a long story short my brother has heart problems and was in hospital for the fisrt year of his life, he is now 4 and still visits the hospital regulary, he's had many heart operations and has developmental delay.
Some doctors put the developmental delay down to being hospitalised for along time and being on ventilator alot of times. He was also sedated for a hell of a long time too. But other doctors dont think his developmental delay is due to this and maybe somthing else. He cant have an mri scan of his brain coz he has a pace maker, he has had ct scans of his brain when he was smaller, they thought he had an extra channel on his brain or it was maybe a little brighter, we dont no much about brains as everythink is focussed on his heart.
Im just wondering if anyone has heard of this coz we cant find any information about it. we would be very gratful thank you
