Lela recently passed the seven months mark and is doing very well. She still can not really see, but however she is reacting to light and that’s a good sign. We had an appointment with an eye specialist and she also stated that Lela’s eyes are 100%. So with this result and the VEP saying that the way from the eyes to the brain is also okay, it must be something inside the visual centre of the brain. It is now on us and other specialists to train Lela’s eyes and make the visual world tasty :)
We also do a lot of Vojta exercises with her every day and she is making big progress. Also we started to visit a Cranio specialist. The funny thing is you really can not explain what these guys are doing but through just placing the hands on certain spots on the body and the head they release tensions and help the body and brain to recover and cure. After the first Cranio hour Lela fell into a very calm and relaxing sleep and after waking up she was relaxed as she was never been before - completely without tension. We are excited what the next appointments will bring, but generally it helps a lot.
Lela also didn’t have found her sleep rhythm yet, so everything is a “bit” messed up. Since September 2007 when she came out of hospital she doesn’t sleep longer than two or three hours in one bit. We all know it could have come worse generally, but it is about time we get some more sleep soon :)
.. but besides all that it is nice to see Lela developing so well … as you can see in that little video :)
