I know it has been a while since I posted, but we simply had to much to do.

So, where are we now generally?

To make it short again, Lela is doing great! She is happy, she is babbling more and more, also more interested in all kinds of toys, … but the best is, her eyes seem to slowly regenerate and improve. Most of the time she is able to make out a person standing in front of her, seeing and grabbing little toys we hold in front of her head and I also had the feeling that she can recognize a smiling face and sometimes respond to it.

Teeth are still coming, but nights are a bit calmer now. Thank you, Lela!!! ;)

Besides that, she still has soft epileptic seizures from time to time which we try to get in control in collaboration with the UKE and homeopathy. Since they are getting softer and softer over time, we hope that they might be gone sooner or later - if not cured earlier. Also there is a huge relation between getting teeth and the seizures. The more teeth growing pain there is, the more seizures she has. Anyway, they are already that soft, as an unexperienced person, you wouldn’t really think it has something to do with epilepsy.

Also Lela made her first experience with the floor :)
It is still very very exhausting for her, but there were already small signs of trying to move forward.

Finally, after getting used to the new Hamburg area where we live now, continuing to arrange the new appartment and following our jobs, we took the chance to spend a day at the beach together.

It is now time to leave the last year behind and look forward. The worst is really over and slowly life comes back to all of us.
