Is no news good news?

So there is really not much to update on Seth. We are seeing a new pediatrician and praying that this is a great fit for us. So far things have been working out in a good way especially since our Neurologist loves the practice that we go to and the nurse practitioner use to work for him so I think that is a good sign.

Seth's life is about to get a little bit busier I think. After Christmas on the 29th he will get a PT evaluation and they will decided then how often she would like to see him. The Developmental Specialist would like to get a Physical Therapist out to see him because he is not really rolling over, sitting up, grabbing for toys or focusing on things. Right now they are thinking once a week as well as a Occupational Therapist so we will for sure be having people out to the house 3 times a week. I am not sure how that will work out for me but I will of course find a way to make it work. Right now my main focus is trying to find a pediatric optometrist to take a look at his eyes and see if there is something that we can do to either strengthen his eyes or get some glasses on him so that he can see. 

Lately we have been really working on his tummy time and what we call deep pressure "beeps" which is kind of hard to explain on a blog but it will help his brain and sending signals to his brain in different ways. We are hoping that because of the brain calcifications, when we do the "beeps" the signals will find a different way to get to the brain and strengthen different parts so that eventually it will seem like nothing was wrong with his brain. I am so not sure if this is making any sense but thats all I got :)

Last night we went to Bass Pro Shop to get the kids pictures with Santa and then went out to dinner. We went with the MacCallum's and we had a great time and all the kids were really good at BPS as well as dinner. I will post up the picture that we got with Santa because it is pretty funny!

I hope that everyone has a very Merry CHRISTmas and I will keep you all updated on anything new!
