Everything here is going well.
My breakfast club kids are going home in a few weeks which means tying up lots of loose ends medically and a whirl wind of appointments.
The youngest who had a shunt put in his head to drain off excess fluid is doing very well. He has been progressing medically (healing, kids are so resilient) and starting to progress physically too. Gaining a lot of weight, starting to hit developmental milestones he missed. The blob that lay and did nothing is crawling, playing, pulling himself up to sitting and trying to stand. His MRI showed that as fluid is being removed from his skull brain matter is decompressing and he is learning to access it.. (WTHoodles? I thought brain matter did NOT recover it's self. Doctors say they were very wrong on that assumption. OK)
He has been frustrated by his lack of communication, he couldn't do much more then grunt and point. We have been slowly teaching him sign. Yup and it took a while for him to get the connection but once he figured out it gave him a voice he learned and demanded more signs. So we taught him, we taught him in English and his regional native dialect. This child is amazing.
The others have done well and we will miss them, but I have had part of my heart stolen by that wee guy.
