Bianco's Update from Home - July 23 till 25

Bianco's recovery has slowed down quite a bit. The initial 5 wks have been fast on recovery as we see different movements from him and him trying out new and different things.

Though it has been pretty stagnant, we will still 'push' him to try on his own

Nothing much has changed and also there was no deterioration.

We are hoping that he'll progress slowly from here. At least for now, we have managed to get him mobile in the sense that he can crawl.

Sometimes, when he crawls, we can see that he is trying to push himself... but we're not too sure if its becoz he doesn't have the strength or he is too lazy to try. Perhaps getting a little comfortable crawling since he was introduced to this motion.

On Wednesday, July 23, my mun and dad had some probs bringing him for the accupuncture as he could not sit still in the car and kept moving around. They were concerned that he may just fall. During the accupuncture, he also tried to avoid Dr Oh and was scrutinizing him with each movement as he place the needles on him......(hhhmmm.. funny, coz I didn't have such problems with Bianco when I'm with him)

The few days since we were trying to change his pee habits, it worked quite successfully. He can go without wearing a diaper at night. Every 3 hrs, we'll get him to try to pee standing up on all fours, with support of course. This practise has gone really well. This even goes on during the night when we sleep... I'll get up mid early morning to just get him to empty his bladder before putting him back to bed. So far, it hasn't been tiring for me as long as I don't have to pacify him to sleep..... he's been a pretty good boy so far .....

Sometimes, during the night, should he needs to go urgently and when we didn't get up, he'll whine to let us know...overall, Bianco likes to keep himself clean if possible, tho the occasional mess... but he'll try to move himself out of his mess if he can

On Friday, July 25, before I left for work, I thought that since its the last work day of the week, I want to try something. That is to allow Tequila to be with Bianco in the living area. Usually during the work week, we'll separate both Tequila and Bianco. But thinking that just in case Tequila is thinking why is he always locked up in the kitchen, why don't give him that chance to prove himself? After a huge speech with Tequila before I go to work, telling him not to be notti, don't any how pee and also don't bully Bianco, I don't think he gets it.

Coming back home from work, the only mess came from Tequila, who actually pee on Bianco's pram. In the end, had to clean it all up before attending to Bianco. Looks like I have to see if I can try leaving Tequila with Bianco again sometime soon, just to see how he gets along with Bianco alone.
