We had our initial evaluation with VIPS yesterday. Amanda was wonderful, and she showed us lots of ways to help Athan learn to use his eyes. It is, of course, impossible to tell just how well Athan will be able to see, but we know that he CAN see. He is tracking faces and objects, but he is somewhat inconsistent. The exercises Amanda will do with him and teach us to do will certainly be good for him, regardless of how good his vision turns out to be.
We also got an e-mail from Lauri, the PT who did the evaluation last week. Her test results confirm delay, but it is consistent delay (across all areas he is behind the same amount). We have been doing some of the exercises she showed us to help him with his head control, and we are excited about learning more once therapy actually starts.
His reflux is also much better since we stopped the Captopril. He is much more relaxed when he eats, and he is resting better between meals. So glad we're off that med! :)
Oh! Thanks for all the great tips. Aunt Berniece & Abby suggested baking soda, which got the greasy gunk out of Morgan's hair, and Dawn worked best on her skin. :)
