EEG Baby

Mikey did really well with his EEG.. he cried a lot at first then fell sleep. We had to wake him towards the end and as you can see in the pictures he was a little scared but watching wubbzy from daddys phone! He was a very good boy :-) Now we just have to wait for the results!!

Dr. Mickey VIsit

Mikey went to see Dr. Mickey today and he was very impressed with his eyes. Hes healed well and he didnt meantion surgery. His brain has to train his eyes to stay straight so far this is working well! Time will tell if he needs another surgery down the road but for today we are good!! Yea!

Mikeys sick :(

Mikey had his first ear infection and croup! My poor baby has been sick for over a week. Tuesday he got some meds and is finally feeling better... still not himself but much better then he was!! Check out his new talent holding his bottle with one hand!!

Michael is starting to sit :-)

Short Video of Mikey sitting.. Im trying to upload the longer one!!

Am I really strong enough?

Lately Ive been breaking down a lot more over Mikey. I try to be strong and be positive but the truth is I am scared to death over what this childs future might be. I do whatever I am told to do even when I dont agree. I get mad at the therapist when they tell me things I dont like to hear. I would imgaine this is normal. I am his mother and I get defensive but I do what they tell me to do because even when I dont agree I know these women know what they are doing and I trust them with all my heart. Sometimes the truth hurts.

One day at a time we all as a family make Michael do the things he needs to do. We try our best to help him learn and progress. Will it make a difference in his life? We sure hope so but there are no guarentees. All we can do is the next best thing each day.

I am grateful to have so many people who love and care for him and who point us in the right direction. As far behind as he is, if we didnt have Early Intervention he would be so much worse.

I am still trying to be strong through the tears!

Here are the braces :-)

Mikey drinking from a straw!!

I am so proud of my little man. He basically bypassed the sippy cup right to the straw. He enjoys being able to drink from his new cup!
