Srikar is put on new medication to control his myoclonic jerks. He is having 20 ~25 of those everyday. Sometimes he is not bothered by those, but sometimes he takes few seconds to come out of those.
His incision on his stomach and head are healing well according to the Neurosurgeon who did shunt surgery.
Srikar also had appointment with Pediatric opthalmologist last week. His optic nerves are looking fine, but his eyes are little bit out of sync which is common in Hemi kids. Opthalmlogist might do a small procedure to correct his eyes in future. But for now we wait and see how he develops.
Nowadays he is enjoying his therapy and also finding ways to get away. He acts as if he is tired and wants to sleep As soon as I bring him out he is all smiling and shouting. He is using his left hand to explore other things and is moving his right hand up and down when he is happy and angry.
He is having great time with his grandparents and aunt.

Hi Syamala,
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that Srikar and you were the ones sitting at our table one day at the reunion. I am not sure if you remember Kody and our family. I see you post often and now it is nice to know that I got to meet you all in person. Srikar is so cute!! I am sorry that he had to get a shunt but Kody has a shunt and he has had the same one for 7 years now. (He is 7 1/2).
I am going to check on Srikar more often now that I see he has this site. God Bless you and take care!!
Randi (Kody's grandma)
