H.I.E. – symptoms

Some of the symptoms of H.I.E. include, but are not limited to: low Apgar scores, seizure activity, organ problems, breathing difficulties, and feeding issues.

So is H.I.E. the same as cerebral palsy? No, it can sometimes cause cerebral palsy, which is a motor dysfunction caused by an injury to the brain, but not every child who has had a H.I.E. event will go on to have a cerebral palsy diagnosis.

If they do, it’s always important to try to remember that a diagnosis does not define your child – they will write their own rules!
