I have started getting smiles from Eli occasionally. He is such a little love.
We are working on getting his splints still. They had to special order the supplies to make them. ECI was supposed to come on Monday for an evaluation and never showed. Then I got a call from his caseworker on Wednesday to reschedule. Somehow there was a mix up and she got a message that I had canceled our appointment. She appologized profusely and we got a new appointment set up for June 8th. Eli had his MRI on Tuesday, and it went really well. They had to give him multiple doses of medication to help him stay asleep so they could get the images they needed. He was very sleepy after the procedure and wouldn't open his eyes for 5 hours. He would respond to us moving him around and would take a bottle so they sent us home. It was nice when he finally opened his eyes and was extremely hungry. It was a blessing that Jed was able to come with me. It would have been a long test without him there. We got the results yesterday, the images showed that there was no tearing of the nerves, which is excellent and then we discussed what we need to do until his next neurology appointment in June, all of which is in the works. We were extremely relieved with the news.
Ruby is our little nursemaid and loves to hold Eli up to her shoulder and move him around.
Saturday my Grandma Delly was down for a visit along with my Aunt Marla. We had a girls day out and had a wonderful time. Eli and his cousin Josie were born a day apart, when you see them together though you would never guess that. They are about 4 lbs different, it will be fun watching them grow up together being so close in age.
Awwwww look at that baby grin!! How exciting to be getting such big smiles already! And I'm so happy to know the MRI went well and that the results showed such good news! Yay :)
ReplyDeleteAwww what a fabulous baby grin! How exciting to be getting such big smiles already :) And YAY for a good MRI experience and excellent results!
ReplyDeleteSheesh... blogspot said there was an error processing my first comment so I did it again (not quite verbatim but I gave it a valiant effort LOL). Now you get my YAY comment twice :P
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome little man! His smile is melting my heart! =) Okay, so Eli and Josie totally look like they're related. At least in that picture, I can totally see a family resemblance! It'll be so fun for them to grow up together! Ruby looks like the sweetest little helper ever! Oh, also, we're hoping to come for Eli's blessing--I'll let you know when we know! Shaun's taking a couple of classes this summer, but it's nothing too tricky, and I don't start until the fall, so I'm just enjoying the awesome summer of having time! I know I won't feel that way for long, so I'm trying to revel in it. =) Love you lots!
ReplyDeleteEli is so cute. His smile melts me. I'm excited to hold him next weekend. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad things went well for mri. that's not fun stuff. ruby's hair is cute! I love her little hair cut. That picture of her holding Eli, he looks like a doll! I didn't realize it was him. Adorable him and josie. It's so fun having babies at the same time with family. :)
