Tonight begins the Jewish new year and we have had a very good end to 5769, a year that started well (this was just about the time last year we had our ultrasound and found out we were having a baby boy), got very rocky, and seems to be ending on a high note. I am very grateful and prayers held special meaning for our family today.
Our appointment was great. The behavioral specialist was so pleased with Aaron's progress, and really surprised! She said that he has some increased tone in his arms and legs, but that doesn't seem to be affecting what he can do. Most wonderfully, she thinks he will walk and even run. There is no way to convey in words how I felt...I am not even going to try. I am so proud of my little Cinderella Man and stand in awe of his determination. The appointment was just before his daddy's birthday, (Happy Birthday Honey!) and Matt said it was the best birthday present in the world.
Since the appointment, Aaron has began to pull to stand on low things. He is a little dynamo. His Aunt Andrea was here for the holiday, and she is amazed by him too. Since she hadn't seen him in person for a while, his progress was even more dramatic for her.
Feeding continues to be challenging. His solid foods have dropped off, but I seem to have found a trick or two today to help. I am waiting to see if the soy formula is completely acceptable to his system before I decide what to do about pumping.
Sam is great. I have a video of him golfing I will add on next time. Until then... good night!
