Beautiful Kaleb update!
Kaleb is still doing amazing! He sure is showing a lot of personality. He makes the funniest faces and seems like he is trying ti show a half-smile. He is becoming a chunker too! I've had to get rid of a lot of his clothes because he is growing out of everything. We are able to take him outside more now because the weather is finally starting to cool off down here. He loves to go out. He still has VERY LITTLE head control. We have to support his head like a newborn because he has no control over his neck muscles. He is doing better though. Give him another year and he will be doing much better. All of his therepists are so pleased to see how well he is doing. We know that he is def. seeing something. We think that maybe he sees shadows. He had a vision therepist come and she used this light board and he def responded to it. He seemed to like the color Red. He does hear something too. I put on the video called Praise Baby (it's like Baby Einstein but it is all praise and worship songs) and he turns his head in the direction the sound is coming from. He is slowy starting to swallow again and occasionally sucks. Nothing coordinated though.
His hair is starting to fill in and he is looking older each day! I can't beleive that he is turning one! WHAT A BLESSING! I have started to plan his Birthday Party and I am so excited and proud. The doctors told us that he wouldn't live to see one and now look where he is. This calls for a celebration of his life!
It has almost been six months since he was shaken. Through this we have felt EVERY emotion possible. Here we are six months later and all we can feel is Joy! I am so proud of all that Kaleb has accomplished. We still have a year and a half to see a complete recovery. I cherish every waking moment that I have with him and take NOTHING for granted. I love to hold him when he's awake and talk to him. He really is staring to talk (baby talk) back to me pretty consistently. The other day he said "mama"... I think it was by accident though but either way he still said it. Maybe someday soon he will say "dada". Josh would love that.
Thank you for all of your prayers. Please continue to pray for our little boy! Praise God for all that he has done in Kaleb's life!
