All done

We have communication!!!! Karsen has now started signing "all done". He's used it four times since yesterday. I'm thrilled, and so is he. I know this is just the start of it all. It came in perfect timing, yesterday was Karsen's first session with his speech therapist. He took to her right away, and I also like her, it's win-win. ;-)

We had a neuro appointment last week. It was very routine. We went over what to expect if (huge if) Karsen's seizures return. What the might look like and what to do. The best part? Ur next appointment is in December! It will be nice to have a break from the drive. Although his eye doctor is don there as ell. We actually have an appointment with her this month as well. Lets hope we can cut that one day as well, although I'm fearful we won't be able to. Karsen is too smart and is cheating. He has started to tilt his head down so he can look out past his glasses. Little stinker.

The diet change is starting to get easier. Karsen has adjusted very easily. It's me that's having a hard time. More than anything it's the mess of a kitchen I can't keep up with.

Other than that, things have really been movie along. Karsen has been free standing more and more and seems so close to taking his first independent steps. I know it's going to be a while before he's fully, confidently walking, but it will come in his own perfect timing.
