So after last week's fiasco with the shunt malfunction/blockage... I must say, we have seen DRASTIC improvement in Dryden!!! I am certainly going to be paying much closer attention to things in the future. Dryden showed NO typical symptoms of the shunt malfunctioning. He was the same happy, sweet baby. But man, was it holding him back!
We had therapy session today and he was doing things she thought he wouldn't do for the next couple of months given his progress. His tracking skills shot up tremendously. He is focusing on everything now. He is following sounds that he wasn't even interested in before. Even his stability with trying to sit up is improved. It is a 100% improvement!! He has been eating his cereal too, and last night - first time ever - he slept in his bed ALL NIGHT LONG. He ate at 11:30 and didn't wake up till 8:00 this morning for another bottle! WOO HOOO!!!!!!
I gotta say, we are SOMMMMEEEEEE happy hearing all of this. More therapy tomorrow... hopefully they see as much improvement on their end.
Another thing too... this is one TOUGH little dude. He is just as content as can be, even after the surgery. He doesn't even seem phased by the incision. It isn't tender to the touch, he doesn't flinch... it is just amazing to me. Meanwhile, I get a paper cut and whine like a baby. Go figure.
One thing is for sure... I could NOT love him any more. He is SO freaking happy. All the time!
Just had to share all this, because it has me practically singing today. :)
