Talk about incredible. Today we had our therapist come together and work with Lucas. The ladies are really nice and just love my little guy. Kama is the vision development therapist and Kim is the occupational therapist. So today they came together to work with him and it was amazing. Occasionally, Lucas will track something or focus on something but it is only occasional. There isn't a real distinction the majority of the time. But today, Kim had her hands under his neck in special place to relieve pressure on the optic nerve and all of a sudden, Lucas was following Kama's light. Tracking and following for almost 10 minutes! It was incredible. Earlier she was working on his diaphragm and he burped. That may not sound neat to you, but he has never burped before! LOL. Yes, its true, he's never burped. Because of his surgery he doesn't burp or throw up. I am just excited about the work that they will be doing with Lucas and I can't wait to see how well he does.
And I just got a call from Kama and she got us in to see the specialist this week. They want to get a 'before' evaluation and get a base line so that when they start working they can see the progress. I am just excited!
