Needing Advice as a Friend Watching On...

[Cassius2]

I thought it was time to update this thread (again!).

And it is all GOOD NEWS!

Little Boy Blue has defied all the odds and has turned ONE!! .

He is just beatiful! he has many special needs (feeding through a peg and the traechy for breathing etc). but in and of himself he is just a happy, bouncy one year old and he and my baby girl Marta are good friends

His mum and dad have been amazing little trailblazers for their wee man and have been able get a nutritional team together and develop a food plan (of various home-made purees) to feed through his peg. it was a bit of an uphill battle to convince the hossy that it was a good idea, but the results speak for themselves...within days of starting the food he went from surviving daily to thriving daily! it has just been joyous to watch.

of course, it is not always sunshine and lollipops as any parent of a child with special needs could no doubt attest; common colds pose massive risk and his little body is very sensitive to all bugs etc., but by golly what a gorgeous little person he is and has just been going from strength to strength (where they thought he might be blind and deaf, not only can he see but has better vision than me! and his hearing is perfect! his developmental milestones are only slightly behind, by a couple of months...yesterday he gave me a cuddle of his own volition!!! ).

so again, can i just say thanks to you all for being there when it was needed, it was such a scary beginning and the unknown was terrifying, but what we got was a beautiful kid that we share laughs and games with xx
