Since finding out about Brody losing his vision, Jordan and I decided we wanted to take him to as many places before hand as we could. We want to give him some good memories. I know he won't remember things right now, but we're going ahead and getting a few out of the way :)
St. Louis was filled with the Massey family! We went to Great Aunt Bobbie's house (Papa Brown's oldest sister). We went to visit the arch. Jordan conquered his fear of heights and small, tight places. I made sure to point out Brody was fine so he should be too :) Brody was thoroughly amused as he slept through the whole thing!
Brody got to play with baby Wesley. Wesley is about 3 weeks older than Brody. It's good to see that although Brody is developmentally a little behind, he was still holding his own! We mastered rolling to the right and left from his belly to back. He can almost go from back to belly. Brody has trouble clearing his arm to be totally successful. He can sit up when he's supported now. There's only a little head bob and lean! It's normal for kids to with hearing loss to have motor issues, even more of a norm for kids with Usher's. All has to do with the vestibular system.
A new journey has started with Brody's hearing aids. He has started pulling them out when he is mad or wants attention. They are a choking hazard! Fun!
On to Christmases 2, 3, and 4! Merry Christmas Eve!
