The Simply Made

Today me and my Teggie (one of many nick names) went to his second physical therapy appointment. He did really well although he wasn't to pleased with all the work he was having to do. He has a great physical therapist who just eats him up every time he is there. While me and her were talking about his development and his Nystagmus she was trying to comfort me by telling me of others situation. She is presently seeing several babies who have Nystagmus. Unfortunately for this babies, Nystagmus isn't even the major concern with them. She said that Tegan is going above and beyond what all of her other Nystagmus patients are able to do. She truly feels like that by strengthening his arms that it will help a lot of his problems like being on his belly, balance while sitting and things like that. His vision has really improved. Sometimes I look at him and really notice his eye movements and can tell that sometimes his eyes roll back a little but sometimes I will go days and realize that I haven't noticed his eyes moving a lot at all. I don't know if I'm just use to it or if it has gotten a lot better. Either way, after talking to the physical therapist today and comparing him to previous and present patients I feel like one of the lucky ones. So what if his eyes move back and forth, so what if he is a little behind, at least he has the potential to see and to over come his developmental problems and I really believe that he will.
