Not Much Ado

Its been awhile since our last post, and I humbly apologize for that! I haven't been able to just get it together! I always feel like Leo's fans deserve something special, not just a boring post about the mundane. So I usually wait until something inspiring, or something special happens. But sometimes, the specialness just doesn't seem to come, or at least I'm not recognizing it. The page stays empty in front of me. Then, inevitably, something else comes up, like a kiddo, or work, or..etc. No excuses really, though in my defense, it's amazing that this blog is a fairly coherent diary of Leo's first two years. It's one of the few things I've been able to faithfully keep up, and it certainly is the most I've ever written since college. Who ever would have thought that I've thought up, with Justin's occasional help, two years worth of thoughts about one little boy?
As I'm sure you know, when we started this blog, in Leo's little nook in the NICU, it was as purely functional way of letting our friends and family know the latest news without endlessly having to repeat our selves, or posting on facebook, where our sad story just didn't seem to fit in with the endless statues updates about daily minutia and/or random thoughts and weird pictures of cats.
I'm sure we never even dreamed that it would develop into such an collection of memories and impressions. We certainly never dreamed that so many of you would take our little lion under your prayer wings and keep such a faithful watch over him. How did he ever get so lucky?!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and since I don't have the words today, here are some pictures from the past couple weeks that should make up for my literary inadequacies!


Sister Bear showing Brother Bear the online advent calendar, which, by the way is pretty savvy! (check it out! http://www.jacquielawson.com/ )

Bet you've never seen a paci worn like this before....


Rocking it out, lil Lion style...! (In case you wondered what we do when it's cold in VT)

The "fail" holiday photo, which I still like for its accurate depiction of family members.
Herding all these kids up a hill is harder then herding horses...Leo again,  is recognizable by his ridiculous paci.

    How can you feel like you love someone you've never met? Thank you so much for sharing your family with the world, I'm always inspired by your words, and of course, by the strength, courage and joy of your little one. Special family you are. I feel blessed to know your family, even if it is through cyber space! :)
    Merry merry Christmas!

    I like to hear about Leo and your family no matter what is going on, even if it's nothing much. Sometimes "nothing much" is just great. And I agree, Leo looks wonderful!

With Mixed Feelings

So for the past couple weeks my feed has been filled with the "back to school" and "end of summer" and "beginning of parental freedom from their annoying offspring" photos. It's ok, I totally get it. Another year, another back to school pic, another notch in the door jamb, and another chapter of growth and development with junior. Look at him go! Or not, as the case may be for many children. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease control and Prevention) one in six children has one...a developmental disability. A stamp of "not normal" across their foreheads. A number. A check mark in a box. My kid is one of them. I heard a brief segment on NPR that enticingly started out with the title of developmental delays on the rise, a 17% increase over the last twelve years. And though I turned up the volume the segment only talked about how it's probably only due to poverty, and it's only the upper classes that actually pursue diagnosis...

The Heart Knows

Today during the physical therapist's visit, Leo was put through his paces. She had a whole list of things, 40 to be exact, of regular newborn motor reflexes and characteristics. Each one gets a check-mark (or not) and then a total score once she tallies up all the information that she observed. Although the final score for Leo really itself doesn't matter, the test was more to establish a baseline of development for Leo, and to find his strengths and weaknesses. Once this baseline is established, it will be easier to tell any progression and growth. Just since her last visit, she observed that Leo was doing a much better job of keeping his head in mid-line position. Before he would always keep it on one side or the other. She also determined during the exam that Leo definitely tracked her with his eyes and responded to sound. More specifically, to my voice. She had him on his tummy facing away from us, and she shook a rattle and made some noise to see if he would move his head...

Shunts Away!

Here is just a quick update for all those waiting and praying for our Leo, before we go collapse in bed for the night. Leo was prepped and ready for surgery early this morning, but they only took him around two in the afternoon. We were there with him for most of the day today, just waiting and biting our nails. The anesthesiologist, a very nice British guy, came up around lunch to talk to us about the risks etc in Leo's case. Apparently because of his tucked up little chin, the regular breathing tube could not be used without lots of maneuvering and fiber optic tools. The anesthesiologist decided to use another breathing aid that isn't normally used for babies; a little tube that only goes down into his larynx, and does not do much more then blow some air down. Most of the breathing support would have to come from Leo himself. Typically under anesthesia babies need help to breathe, so the anesthesia team takes over the breathing. However the side effect of that is the newborns...
