SD continued to improve on Saturday. He sat on the floor and used some muscles on his own. His food obsessions are starting to relax, and even change - he now likes fruit again!
The downside to SD feeling better is that he objects more to his medicine. He is getting strong enough to let his feelings on the matter be known in no uncertain terms.
SD played quite a bit on Saturday, which is a good sign:
On Sunday, SD came with us to church! This was our first time in church together as a family since before Thanksgiving.
He did not stay in the nursery during service, but we let him go in after church was over; he was able to stand (with support) while playing in there. He did fall over, but then stood again after Mandy helped him up.
Monday was Stephen's last day off before returning to a regular work schedule. SD continued improving in every area: his tastes were easier to please, he played much more, he showed interest in his surroundings, and he started moving on his own power.
Shortly before bedtime, we opened one of the last remaining presents - a gift from an Unknown Benefactor at Stephen's work. SD got so excited over this pirate ship, he started crawling!
Such an encouraging report! So wonderful to see SD playing and crawling! Continuing to pray for healing!
ReplyDeleteTry making cream puffs with a homemade vanilla custard filling. That would use up a lot of those eggs! Seriously, we are so happy to see the progress SD is making now. We continue to pray for all of you, and we praise God for answered prayer.
ReplyDeleteSuch an encouragement to see such improvement! It broke my heart, though, that he's still so weak. My prayers continue to be with you.
