Walking with Will: Another medical month for Will.

Here are a few pictures of Will. He is now 4 months old! I can't believe how big he is getting. He has doubled his wt. since he came to MN and you can see how tall he is becoming also. He can hold his head up for a little bit, but if he sits in his new bumbo chair, he needs some help with holding his head up for a while. He has been wearing his new shoes with the bar for a couple of weeks now and does well with it.

We have a busy few weeks ahead of us again. We have to go to Minneapolis tonight because he has an audiology test at the University tomorrow. I'm going to have to keep him up in the early morning so that he falls asleep during the testing. Not fun for either of us.
Then next week Friday we have to be at the University ped. clinic again to have an in-depth vision test, 4 hours long I'm told. I am quite eager to see how that turns out. He still cannot track with his eyes and they will often cross or roll up, but we see that when we are close to him, he does focus in on our faces. His last big testing for a while will be his MRI and EMG (testing the muscles in his face) under sedation, again at the University pediatric MRI center on May 26. I eager to hear the results of that also. It's his pediatric neurologist who has requested all these tests because with no facial movement, the nerves that control his facial muscles are close to the nerves for his hearing and vision. Still praying that this will all show that he has a bright future. He's definitely a "baby magnet", everywhere he goes he draws complete strangers in to 'talk' to him; medical staff and even the shoppers at the grocery store.
