This will be a short entry, but wanted to share some of Dominic's progress. This is only day 4 off the steroids, but we are already seeing a different baby. His neurologist was very pleased with how he looks and how well he did on the ACTH. He said within the next couple weeks his development should take off. He's probably where he was at when the spasms started, developmentally, which is about 2 months. The chaotic brain activity from the seizures and spasms cause the brain to stop developing normally. So, now that they are under control, hopefully he'll be on his way.
Here is a video of Dominic on Monday, smiling and laughing. He has had a perpetual scowl on his face for the past 4 weeks. Now, he seems to get more social each day.
Today we played on his play mat and he started batting at toys. This is something he has NEVER done before!

This is so amazing! I'm so happy that you are seeing progress. Praise God!
ReplyDeleteDear Laura, You don't know me, I'm a friend of your Mom's. I've been praying for Dominic and you and read your blog to keep updated so I don't have to bother your Mom. I am praising God for the miracle He has brought about thus far and trusting in Him to see this miracle thru. I have lived thru a couple of God's miracles, things that happen for no other reason than becuz He is The Almighty. I can tell you that Dominic's story will be used by God in many, many ways for a very long time to come. You also need to know that your honesty and transparency are so critical to your readers. No mother could read this and not know your pain, anger, joy and fear. The fact that you own up to those feelings allows us to feel them with you and brings not just Dominic, but the love of Christ closer to our hearts. Hang in there Girl. You've been thru a ride that no one could make it thru without being held in the palm of His hands.....and He has promised us that He will never EVER let us go! Ups and downs, good and bad, He will never leave your side! Will continue to pray....Lisa
