Good things to report...praise God! The day after Benjamin's Neuro-development appointment his Physical Theropist came by. We shared the test scores with her and she was very impressed by them as well as how much change had happened since the previous visit. He was able to show off his new speaking abilities and she worked on rolling over with him. He is a long way from doing it on his own (at least the right way), but it makes for a good activity to do together. We are working on tummy time a lot these days...here is a fun view :)
Today was his Opthamologist appointment. This one was much smoother than our first one in early July! We even found our way to the Eye Institute on the first try this time. Of course there was that part where Benjamin choked on a little spit-up and threw up all over himself and his car seat when we were checking in...yeah, that wasn't as fun, but we are pros now and had him cleaned up in no time. The doctor reported mostly good things...not cross-eyed, eyes track together as they should, a little trouble looking up-though not much of a concern. He is still near-sighted, but there is no need to take action at this point and the goal is not to get glasses until he is closer to school aged if possible. It is possible that his vision can change for the better. We are praying for his vision to be improved, but honestly, I am not very worried about it. We don't have to go back for about 4 months.
Friday is our first RSV vaccination...finally! This is to help him against the Respiratory Syncytial Virus that can be life threatening. It is very expensive and he has to have one a month for the next 5 months. Though I am not a huge fan of vaccinations and sticking my baby with needles, we will gladly do this one.
