Justin’s Progress
April 9th, 2008
We have been home a month now and finally we are all sleeping through the night!! Justin is progressing in so many ways – we feel like every single day he does something new. We went 9 months without many milestones met, and now Justin is definitely making up for lost time! Since we’ve been home from China Justin has started crawling, transitioning from laying down to sitting up and vice versa, trying to talk, he reaches out for everything and is getting into everything! We had to baby proof the house since he just gets around so good now. He reaches out for the camera when I take his picture, and he actually turns to look at us when he say his name! He is also trying to feed himself with the spoon when I bring it in close to his face. These are things that may seem so trivial to other parents, but for parents of a blind baby, these are miracle events!
He has finally gotten over the tantrums when meeting new people and he doesn’t cry when someone other than me tries to hold him. He has come a long way in a month.
We definitely know in our hearts that we made the right decision to go ahead with this treatment. There were times we doubted ourselves, but when Justin sees a toy across the room and goes after it, thats all the reassurance we need. We hope he will continue to improve and one day find out exactly what he can see -although it won’t be until he can tell us, so we have to be patient!

What a sweet miracle! I can’t wait to see him next weekend. I’m so happy for all of the success and am excited to see how much more progress he’ll make over time. It’s unbelievable that he’s come this far already. YAY!!!

Wow! What incredibly exciting news. I am sorry that I couldn’t attend the party on Saturday. I am so pleased to hear of his progress and can’t wait to see you guys. Justin is lucky to have such wonderful parents to have sacrificed so much for him.
