It has been such a long time since my last post. I have been busy enjoying my VERY active miracle baby. So I am going to try to catch everyone up on what has been going on the last few months.
So since my last post we have had 3 MRI's (July, September, and December) all showed that his cyst and ventricles were stable!!! Praise the Lord!!! After our visit in December our neurosurgeon told us that he was comfortable with us waiting 6 months until we do another scan. That was so nice to hear. Hopefully, it will cut down on the stress and anxiety. There is nothing worse than watching your child in pain from the IV and the meds that sedate him. He also told us that he is hoping that by the time Tommy is 2 or 3 that his head size will be on the "normal" growth chart. I know all of the prayers that our Tommy receives have worked and we are so thankful for them all. We could not have gotten this far without the love and support from our family, friends, church, and people who don't even know us. I am also so thankful for the lifetime bond I have made with other Dandy Walker moms. I love them and their children very much. It amazes me how much we all lean on each other for support and guidance and we have never even met each other.
Baby Tommy has made so much progress since my last post. He is now saying mama, dada, nana, and bye. He is always talking and copying the sounds that we make. He is very active and determined (he gets this from his Daddy). He started army crawling in September and still uses that as his fastest mode of transportation. He can crawl but only does that when he wants something up high and he LOVES to cruise around furniture and walk/run all over the house when someone is holding his hands. We are going to be in BIG trouble when he begins to walk.
We just got home from the beach today and while we were there Tommy decided that he did not want to eat baby food any more and that he could feed himself. So he has been eating lots of meat sticks, green beans, and bananas. I am so thankful that he wants to do all of these things.
I know this post is all over the place and I apologize for not keeping up with it. I am going to try my best to update more frequently.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and has a wonderful 2011. We are praying for many more miracles this year!!!
