Hello to all. We have finally made it home. What a mission. Ollie was a complete ratbag from japan to brisbane poor baby and poor mummy too. it was a tough twenty four hours. He was so happy to get home to his daddy sister and pa and even though he was so tired he still managed to have a run and laugh in tigga!
I was taken out the next night after we arrived home for a great big juicy steak what a treat. Comfy bed and lovely family has already made the tough journey fade away. Ollie slept through the night and the next day for four hours he really is loving his bed he did not even move one inch the little spunk.
We have noticed a few improvements which make everything worth doing ten times over.
Firstly he is opening his hands most of the time and using them although not so successfully yet but a lot more controlled than in the past. He is grabbing at things all the time.
He seems to be hardly ever dribbling. His mouth is closed a lot more.
He is more relaxed and cries less.
His eating has improved so much. He seems to be swallowing easily, I can hear himswallow. He usually pushes most of the food out of his mouth now he sucks it back and pushes none out. He still needs to learn to control his muscles in his mouth however I see a lot of promise whereas before I saw none. I am eager for his speech therapist to give advise on his mouth muscles and see what she thinks. Hopefully he may improve enough now to talk. Please!
I am so happy and really hope bigger and better things happen for the little tacker. The doctors in China told me the stem cells take a long time to grow so we have to be patient. Each new thing which Ollie achieves is like Chrismas wishes to us Over and Over.
Anyone thinking about taking the leap of faith in China I say you have to make it happen!
I love stem cells!
Glad you are both safely back home.Great to hear of Ollies sucesses and hope this is the start of many more.
Love to all big hug to Nat. Hugs are good
