October already

October finds us with much good news to report. Henry has been seizure-free since our last post. His latest MRI showed a decrease in ventricle size. This indicates that his shunt, now on its lowest-pressure setting, is finally functioning correctly.

He also has new glasses. Not only is he taking an increased interest in the world around him, but he looks like an older, more sophisticated baby.

We were very lucky to find a fantastic babysitter for Henry. Jennie spends two fun-filled days per week with Henry, and he adores her.

We have been encouraging Henry's love of nature with trips to the Chicago Botanic Garden.

Finally, Henry is starting to laugh for us. Meade is quite good at making him laugh while playing with his "squeaky mirror."
