Even though Ella is not making much developmental progress there are very small nuances that prove some progress. For example, she responds to my hands placed on her chest when she is lying on her back by bringing her hands onto mine. She does this both with the right and the left hand which is quite amazing. She still doesn’t put anything into her mouth, not even her fingers. Although her head control is clearly coming along slowly but surely, she is still very floppy due to her low muscle tone. She has been fussier lately which is both good and bad. On the one hand, something could be bothering her and we can’t figure out what it is. How often can a baby be tired and hungry, right? But, at least she is interacting and letting us know that somethings not right. She never cries, but whines and wimpers. We’ve added more solid food. She’s eating avocado, mashed sweet corn and now oatmeal cereal. And alot of it too. Saturday we took her on a trip to Gloucester. She hung out in the snuggley, got fussy, was appeased by the good ol’ pacifier and finally fell fast asleep in the car seat at a restaurant. It was fun for all. By the way, last Wednesday (almost a week ago now) I think I saw one seizure in the morning as I was changing her. She seemed very out of it for about a minute. Her eyes were fixed. She snapped out of it, took a big breath and promptly fell asleep. Ella is always very excited on that table which almost certainly confirms that that was seizure. We watched her like a hawk after that and haven’t seen any more. Fingers crossed.
