touchy-feely-noisy

Yesterday Murray and I took Cameron back to the Baby Therapy Centre, for a full assessment by an OT, a physio and a speech therapist. They reckon he is doing really well (i.e. he’s reached all the fine and gross motor milestones that a sighted – a ‘normal’ – three month old should have). They want to see him for some therapy, to prepare him for the milestones that will be coming up in the next few months (e.g. sitting, crawling, etc), and in which vision would ordinarily play a central role. They were just so kind and encouraging and positive! And Cam was really co-operative. I think he’s going to be a bit of a flirt… A friend of mine has also leant me a whole bunch more touchy-feely-noisy toys for Cam to explore.

Pastor Mike and Irene came for coffee last night and we had such a wonderful time chatting through the issues with them. We were deeply encouraged and are feeling stronger and more positive.

We are aware that we have grace and strength and wisdom for TODAY, and we’re trying to focus on that and live in the moment – while trying to prepare for the future with a sense of hope and expectation.

Thanks for all the love!!!!!
