Nice Weekend

Levi has had a nice weekend.  Saturday he stayed with Dad while I went yard saling with Aunt Misty and found some adorable stuff for him (sandals!) and that afternoon we went to Riverbend for Lisa's 18th birthday party.  Happy birthday Lisa!!!  He did wonderfully at the party and loved being cuddled by family.  We were concerned that he would be in a lot of pain this weekend since we decreased Baclofen, the med that controls the tightness in his muscles, but it has been manageable.  A few doses of Tylenol or Ibuprofen have made him more comfortable.  This morning we went to church and he was terrific all through service.  He has spent the remainder of the day napping and looking at the toys on his play gym.

Tomorrow we have our long awaited opthamology appointment.  We do feel like he has been seeing more clearly in the last week and are encouraged by that.  I'm excited to see what the doctor says.

He has been making progress too!  The past couple days he has been eating better and has taken his bottle with little to no chin supoort!  He's also been doing more with his hands and his arms, stretching and moving around.  We've been working with him in therapy to bring his hands to center and feel his own hands, and last night he was sleeping with his hands overlapping on his chest!  I feel like we are seeing many positive improvements in a short amount of time.  Once he starts learning I think he will grow by leaps and bounds!

Less than a week to Levi's party, we are looking forward to it!
