Okay, so I let time get away again. The funk comes and goes, and it's bigger than I am, you know. And you
don't want to hear from me when I'm there.
But let's see. First off, Sam's eye has cleared up. His left eye has been red and awful looking - Dr Towle
told us it is from a food allergy, and not dry eyes, as we thought. So from process of elimination, it's eggs.
And his white clear eyes are back! His eye was so red it was painful to look at, but it's clear again. Yay.
Dairy is a problem too. A manageable problem - wow.
And Sam's body is changing - when I was giving him a bath the other day, I noticed how his body is filling out; I never
noticed before that it needed to, but ABR - and prayers, of course - are having an effect and building him up already.
He's been moving his legs more and more - almost like he's playing with them to see what they can do. Not a lot,
but it's noticeably more. He's also been moving his arms a bit more, and independently of each other, which never happened
before at all. Another new development is that he's complaining about being on his back for ABR (which takes
3 hours a day) and wants to sit up and be cuddled!
And probably the biggest thing, and I'm scared to even say it for fear it will go away, but yesterday during vision therapy
he was actually nodding his head to answer "yes" to Barb's questions!
So there you go. I'm going to stop writing now in case he's reading over my shoulder and starts misbehaving again.
Oh, and one more thing I just remembered. Yesterday, when Barb was here, he jumped up in his chair (almost like
somebody had pinched his bottom) and then his cheek started twitching. It was weird to watch - he thought it was weird
too, I could tell - but his left cheek jumped and twitched for about 30 seconds. I guess those muscles are waking
up.
