Lakai had his 8m Neonatal Follow up Clinic appointment today...and...
Lakai did indeed knock their socks off!! He scored so well on all his tests (cognitive, hearing, communication (understanding words), gross motor and fine motor) that they kept scoring him past his developmentally age, we will know in a few weeks how high he scored but not be a bragger head but they keep testing till the baby fails five things and he didn't fail anything!!!
He was doing things 1 year olds do!!!
He didn't score well on expressive communication because of his vocal cord issues, but they know that so that doesn't count per say.
He was so freakin' well behaved too, it was THREE loooong hours of testing, poking and prodding. He didn't even cry or behave scared during the hearing test which SCARED me. LOL They would make these sounds and then a lit box with a crazy clapping panda would start clapping out of no where. I jumped like umpteen times!
They also said its very unlikely with his symmetry and his development that there should ever be an issue of CP...yes yes yes!
Because we have five things that could cause CP, the main one being his Grade IV brain bleed.
I am just so proud of him, it's impossible to explain properly. I feel badly because I thought they might find something, something Ive missed. I kept waiting for the bad news..but they didn't have any!
They actually said there is no actual reason for infant development to come to our house even, but they should just to visit anyways.
I can't believe how far my little man has come and this may sound bad, but his birthday is just all that more special now. No grey clouds hanging over head...I love it!!
Plus he showed off his pincher grasp by eating two Cheerios for the first time!!
Also he had a feeding study a few weeks ago and he is able now to eat thickened purees and finger foods!!
And on Nov 2 he will be a YEAR old!!
