Dear Sir.

again, i received furtherance (re-repeat) medical call for my son from Dehli on 04-05-2010 (letter issued on 22-04-2010). It says that '' repeat pediatric consult: For development assessment after 06 months''. Our initial medicals are done on 24-10-2009 and repeat medical of son done on 04-01-2010. So, now 06 months completes on 04-07-2010.

I went to DMP on 06-05-2010 and he said to come on 4th July 2010.

So, now in this case, ''1 square equals to 1''.

Have you any idea in this situation? Does your child or Mr. Jaleel's child also went thru medicals thrice? If yes what was the outcome? What was the time difference between each medicals? Plz share your experience.....

Moreover, kindly guide me about rehab. of my son. Now he is 10 months old. He cannot sit yet but only can hold his head. I asked the Dr. whether Physiotherapy can be started for achieve various milestones like sitting, grabbing things, walking etc. But Dr is saying 'NO' whereas Physiotherapist at a very reputable hospital is saying that 'it is must for my son and it should be started right now'.

Kindly share your experience and word of advise as well

Deep Regards,

Dear Sir,

I was on a Umrah trip and joined work only today. With regards to the issue of further tests, that is the 3rd time, I do not know any one else who has gone through this. However, I have also been advised to go for further tests for my child. i will mail you a copy of the letter sent to me. It insists on a Physcological test. I am; to say the least; shocked that the DMP has asked you to come on the 4th of July, thats a very long waiting period.

Now on a personal note and important one. Weather we go through this or not, your childs health is of paramount importance. the best thing for DS children is Early Intervention. Any person/doctor who suggest that DS children do not need any therapies is outright nonsense. EI has worked and is the most and highly recommened thing for children with Special Needs. I have taken my child for Physio, Speech and occupational therpay since she was 5 months. I would strongly suggest you to start this. Only after intense Physio therpies my daughter started walking and now she runs, albiet, not like a athelete but still good enough. Sir, Again, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Early Intervention. Please go ahead with it and join any support group for DS children in Pakistan who would help you and guide you further.

Hi,

      Recently we had a premature baby. He is in hospital from past 1 month and need be there for 2 more months. I am waiting for the medicals request from CIC. I am worrying that my baby will fail medical tests because of the weight, height or prematurity . Does any one have idea?

Thanks.

Dear Qorax,

I too am a mother of a 9 year old Down Syndrome child and I am based in dubai. please can you email me the contacts of similar case of parents who have been granted Canadian Immigration so i can touch base with them.

We had applied in 2001 under the skilled category. We applied 2 years before my daughter was born, however our immigration was rejected in 2005 without any specific reason.

My email patmaxx @ gmail.com

Appreciate to hear from you. Thanks
