one day left to live series - 8 months and 17 days

Sripathi is doing fine after the HIB vaccine on 6th of July 2010. No seizures. :)

In the meantime he developed diaper rashes four days back. I tried balmex but it didn't seem to help, then I read that breast milk can be applied to any skin problem for a baby. I had some milk stored in the freezer, so I tried applying that and it seems to have cleared up all the rash.

Miss.Susan was here today for his vision therapy and she was impressed by the way he was trying to look at some of his familiar toys. She has given us a new toy to be introduced to him every once in a while, just so he starts to recognize more variety.

The best part is he will be going for an occupational therapy examination on Monday. A therapist would evaluate and decide on how to improve his fine motor skills. We have to travel 13 miles to get his evaluation done. And eventually have to do this trip to the OT every week.

He is actively rolling all around the living room. He is so fond of rolling over that one day he had held up one end of his blanket and kept rolling that we finally found him in a bundle. ;)
