I think your in touch with right people currently. Investigation wise what will come positive we don't know. But he needs to be aggressively managed by physiotherapy, occupational therapist, speech therapist to improve his ambulation,speech. Baclofen is right for reducing muscle tightness. Investigation if shows something which can help you for your future pregnancy will be helpful as you have consanguineous marriage. Hope it helps.
