Thank you for the congrats for dnephew. I wish I could post a pic for you all to see how cute he is but dsis would kill me!
He has Diplegic CP and as he's only 2 the extent isn't clear yet. He only began crawling a few months ago (an army crawl as he couldn't really use his legs much) and his coordination isn't great (he can't speak yet and his coordination means he also can't sign) so walking felt so far into the future but he's shown us.
I'm so happy for him - and dsis is now panicking about the day he goes one way and dniece (who's only 10 months younger) runs in the opposite direction
So glad to hear your nephew gets on ok Fluffy. How did he get to 8 without a diagnosis?
I have to say, the NHS have been amazing for dsis, as nephew was prem they've monitored his development closely and picked up issues quickly.
Wreck how is your DD now?
They've said it's likely nephew will need boots - basically it's a walker now to steady him, splints to stretch his muscles and straighten his legs (he's only recently started to sit with his legs straight, and that's after months of physio). Then all being well, he'll move on to boots and possibly a stick / crutch.
I've just seen DH off on his annual half term trip away with his friends.
It froze overnight here, first one of the season!
My plan while he's gone is to:
🤶🏻Start writing Christmas cards
🤶🏻Make my winter candle
🤶🏻Finish Christmas shopping
🤶🏻Finish crochet snowflakes
🤶🏻Put together my crochet wreath
🤶🏻Order and start the cross stitch for my friend
Where do you all buy your cross stitches from? I'm torn between a Christmas one and finding a Harry Potter one for my friend...
