The physio was very very pleased with his progress - but was a little concerned about his right leg. We always thought that his left leg was lazy but now he is injuring his right ankle she is beginning to think his right leg is overactive. He definately has no feeling in the back of his ankle - i put alchol gel on the cuts there and he didnt flinch....
She thinks that he kicks so much with this leg - not because it is involentory - but because his lack of sensation in it means he moves it around more to learn about it, as it feels different. Makes sense i guess!
We always thought it was stronger - but now it looks as if it is just stiff! lol
Besides that, he can stand on his own, and when he does he spreads his weight equally. he can stand up by himself if he holds your hands! and he can sit on his own for 16 seconds before nose diving. but she showed me how to put a pillow on his lap to give him more support.
he is doing so well! My georgous clever little man!!
But i guess we will never know the level of sensation until he can tell us himself. But it looks good at the moment! he has just started roaring with laughter when you tickle his feet!!
