Lorenzo is 8 months now

Is been a while, you can imagine how busy my life is these days... We moved to small town USA, absolutely love it, my kids are happy, i'm very blessed to be in a more comfortable home for my kids and specially lorenzo, a one story home will make his days way easier if he someday will walk... As today we still got no respond in his condition, I stopped concentrating looking for the reason or cause of this hypotonia, and focusing in what i can do to accept it and move forward... Everyday for me is a challenge Lorenzo still won't sit or hold his head, won't crawl, won't talk, he is very alert and interact with his siblings... everyday activities are double the work with a child with special needs..... My back is showing signs of how hard it is to carry such a heavy baby all the time and is time to start looking into special equipment.... and all i see is $$$$ expenses are off the roof....

We are attending physical therapy and Occupational therapy, (finally after 7 months of waiting, sooner start is coming to our home starting Monday) waiting to attend the Bethany Children's Center for children with special needs... Also, hoping Lorenzo can start attending Mother's day out at Special care...

In the emotional level i'm still learning to deal with the comments of random people, who will ask why my baby won't hold his head etc... or the fact that my baby won't do what other children do at his age... Went shopping for christmas and of course i'm standing in the toy aisle having complete meltdown all my baby will get for christmas may be a rattle because he won't be able to play with age appropriate toys... I'm thankful for the support of everyone around us and of course the special friends that make my days easier with the calls and pull me up when all i want to do is cry and feel sorry for myself... and I live each day dreaming of the day, i can see lorenzo walk or just don't look like a rag doll.... but for now each day is a miracle for me and i'm thankful for my kids each day....
