My baby can see! My baby can see! I can't stop singing these words today. Fred and I went to see the neurologist today and she told me that shes sure he can see light and probably figures and shapes in contrast to the light out of his right eye! (His left eye is still pretty bad) Im so happy, I have been noticing him staring at the bright light in our room and even staring at me but I wasnt going to say anything because I wasnt sure since I am his mom and of course want to believe he can see and hope for the best. He may not be able to see faces or anything but this is such great news because now we will be working with an eye therapist and since he does have this slight vision they may be able to do something, surgery or glasses I suppose, to enhance his vision.
Also,
The birth- 3 people came out a few weeks ago, they are who will be sending out the eye therapist but they didnt approve him for an occupational or physical therapist because he is doing well in them areas. Although that is good news I wasnt happy with that news because I feel Fred does need the extra help and I dont want to see him slip behind so the neurologist is referring me to the physical therapist through the hospital.
Ohmy, I didnt realize how long its been since I last blogged, alot more has also happened. We were back in the hospital a few weeks ago and put in a shunt, the fluid in his head eventually did start to swell his head, we werent sure if it was going to because when he was born it didnt look like it. That has been rough because just when I was starting to get a feel for his sleep/eat/awake schedules that has thrown us for a loop. It is still up and down. Now when doctors ask me hows hes doing its hard to answer because he has been so irregular with everything going on.
Well he is doing very well today and thats all that matters, &now baby Fred is telling me hes hungry so bye bye (:
