Ok so I know its been a while. Thank you to all of you who have asked about a new post. Hannah seems to be making little improvements every day. She is getting stronger with her head, she's looking to both sides, is becoming more vocal, and is trying to use her hands. During OT last week she held onto a Ritz cracker, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
I've started taking her to guy that does a program called neurolink. The program is a mixture of kinesology, chiropractor, and a few other things. I won't go into all he did, because most of you will think I'm nuts. However since I took Hannah on Friday she is definitely tracking with both eyes, so I will be interested to see what other changes occur over time. When you see Hannah let me know if you see any improvements, its always nice for other people to see the things we are seeing.
We are so excited that Hannah's shunt is coming out on March 4th. Please pray that this surgery will go smoothly and there will be no infection and that the subdurals never return. This week Hannah will see the neurologist on Tuesday and the opthomologist on Thursday. For the neurologist please pray for wisdom for him to do the right tests to figure out about the white matter of Hannah's brain. For the opthomologist please pray that he will get a clear picture of what Hannah can and cannot see. I may talk to him about putting her in glasses, because the patches irritate her skin. I guess that's all for now. Thank you for remembering this precious child in your prayers.
