My little bear is one year old. I have had many tears over that last couple days remembering how he started in life and the prognosis he was given. He has been incredible with his achievements and is truly a little angel to be around.
He has recently had his one-yr follow-up with his Pediatrician, Opthamologist, Early Intervention, and OT/PT. Every one is impressed and he is measuring as would be any other 12 month old! He is close to walking (uses furniture) says a couple words, pretends to cry!, eating solids, using sippy cups, etc. There is no evidence of CP or delays or any issues whatsoever at this point. As happy as I am however, I am so scared to be happy over it....am I out of the clear? I guess there is still the possiblity of learning/speech delays but hopefully nothing major. He is just such a trooper. He wants so bad to be a big boy like his older brother (2 1/2 yrs), so not much has slowed him down.
We will continue with Early Intervention and OT, but only every 2-3 months now rather than every month. I guess we just continue stimulating his as much as possible and continue to hope fo the best. Just wish I could read the future. I am scared to relax too much!
