July 1 2007

Since Noah started going to the Cole Center we have noticed,
1. He has gained 13 lbs. He was skin and bones in May 2006. He lets us know he is hungry by clicking his tongue.
2. Health: Each time we come to the Cole Center he has less and less visits to the doctor because he was sick. He hasn't had pnemonia since the first part of Oct. He hasn't even been to the doctor since Nov. except for a physical.
3. seizure: I can't remeber the last time he had one. He used to have at least 2x a week.
4. hearing: I believe his hearing is alot better. We haven't had his hearing tested but have noticed him turning his head more to sound.
5. alert and aware: His teachers and people at church have commented about Noah interacting with people around him more.
6. involintary movements: Noah used to move all the time. That has completly stopped
7. laughs at appropiate times: He will delibertly make you spill his water when you are feeding him and laugh. He will pee when his diaper is off and laugh.
8. We took him to the Cleveland Clinic in January. While we were there the doctor was trying to look in his ears,nose and mouth. He did all he could to avoid letting them do that. She told him if he was good she would give him a sticker. He said NO. It was too funny. He also kicked the girl that was trying to draw blood. Before you would have never even cried.
9. Strength: Noah has gotten alot stronger. He has gotten better head control. In fact Noah can SIT UP. Not for long but hey its a start.
