We're going in on the 10th also. Our appt. is at 9:15a. What time is yours? Maybe we can hook up!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!Ok Dominick time: We go to Richmond tomorrow to see the eye surgeon and find out about surgery. He is wearing his glasses better, but the patching has not started yet so I don't know if they will schedule the surgery yet or wait and see how that goes. Either way I'm prepared for the worst and

hoping for the best.We go to CT on the 10th of January to have his head rechecked. I honestly hope it is just me being crazy. I have been really good about not looking at it every five minutes,lol. I know there has been some regression, but I just can't tell if that has caused the remaining asymmetry that he had when he graduated to look worse or it has actually regressed that much. I'll leave it to the experts at CT ndale, they are always my voice of reason,lol. I am just not happy with his headshape right now, but if this is as good as it gets then that's what it is. It is still soooooo much better than it was before treatment and I am incredibly grateful for that.His sensory intergration issues are all over the map, and once I can get my life in order here I will set up his evaluation with the child study team and I have to call his regular OT today for another appointment. We are finding different ways to help him cope

with his issues and he is doing good. He is learning sign language and now signs "eat" when he wants food. He is really pushing the limits with sensory seeking issues....falling backwards in his playpen, banging his head or hitting it with something,you name it, if it gives him input he's doing it,lol. We bought him a stuffed animal vibrator bear from Walmart which has been a wonderful tool. He likes to stand on it and vibrate,lol. Music has proven to be his favorite thing. He loves all music, but especially went crazy when BB King played the blues. He was bobbing and swiveling...looked like a mini Stevie Wonder,LOL. I am glad he has found something he likes so much, up till now nothing has held his attention.He has finally found something he will watch for more than a second...the Elmo's World videos......Yippie. He mostly just repeats the sounds and dances when they sing, doesn't really watch it long, but that's ok.I

am adding a picture to the holiday file of the gang in Santa hats on thier way to grandma's for Christmas Eve. I love it even though you can hardly see my 15 yr old's face through the hair,lol. I guess I should be happy he let me take a picture with him in it. That's about all for now, I'll let you know how the eye doc goes tomorrow. CAROLG

I think this will be our last 'adjustment' appointment. Caelan has had her band for 8-9w now....she got it on Nov. 8th when she was one week shy of turning 6m. She's done fabulously... If you're up in No.VA "early" and want to meet for a coffee or a quick lunch, let me know!!!

Maggie,

Wow, the last adjustment, how exciting. Maybe I'll see you, I never

know what's going on because I have three other kids and you know how

that goes. I keep saying we have to get an ndale party together

someday, so we can all get together.
