When "Small for His Age" Became Something More
A random conversation in a doctor’s office led us to a diagnosis we never expected and one many DS parents may never think to ask about.

A random conversation in a doctor’s office led us to a diagnosis we never expected and one many DS parents may never think to ask about.

Eight months, two neurologists, one failed EEG, and one not so sedated sedated EEG later, we finally have answers. This is the story of worry, waiting, and fighting for peace of mind when your child cannot tell you how he feels.

What was supposed to be a simple EEG turned into a full production starring Prince Noah, three bags of chips, and the heroic intervention of Teen Titans Go. A classic Kennedy Krieger adventure with a royal twist.

Between doctor visits, school schedules, and life in general, I realized I have a full time job I never applied for. Managing Noah’s care takes a village, a shared calendar, and a whole lot of color coding.

A doctor visit, a one word response, and a deeper look into the guessing game of loving a teen with limited communication.

What was supposed to be a simple follow-up at Johns Hopkins turned into a negotiation, a strength demonstration, and a reminder that with Noah, even medical visits come with entertainment value. 💪
