When your baby is 1 week old, and she has her 1st MRI and the results aren’t what you thought you would ever hear, let alone something you never want to hear……Veronika has an injury to her brain from the bleed she had before she was born, and we believe that it will affect her movement down the left side of her body, and she will most likely never walk….

I guess at that point in you make a decision, one of two possible options i guess. You either think ‘oh well, if that’s how its gonna be, why bother,’ OR ‘Yes she will walk, and we will come back in when she does and say I TOLD YOU SO’.

3rd Brain MRI done, and possitive result from hearing test....

Veronika had her MRI and Hearing Test yesterday.....as you can see she wasn't at all worried about having her anaesthetic!



Her hearing is fine, *Happy Dance from me*....it's not that often I get, "nothing to worry about" from a Doctor! And I have to wait to Veronika's next Paed appointment in early June to find out the results of her brain MRI.....

Monday we saw the OT and she is really happy with Veronika's progress with her left hand. We are still using restraint therapy, to hold her right hand down so she has to use her left one, and slowly we are making some really nice progress.....and it may look mean, but Veronika really likes her restraint! she used to cry when I took it off, and would sign for 'more'!

Today we went to Early Learning. Veronika loves going to her 'school', I tell her on the way we are going to "school" and you can play with Willow(her best friend). Veronika sits in the car on the way signing 'play' then 'W' for Willow. Veronika is also really enjoying playing with Stella, so I think 'S' will be the next sign we work on! The 3 girls sit at the table at morning tea time, and see what each other has. Willow always asks(Willow signs amazingly) for one of Veronika's biscuits.....and then we offer Stella and the other children one too. Veronika's most favourite things at early learning are playing in the playground(in the car going down the bumpy stairs, it OK they are rubber rock, not concrete!) and singing time. Veronika loves music......no Really LOVES MUSIC....

Last week Veronika did a Cake Smash Session with Dani from Dream and Just Believe, you must check our Dani's blog entry.....
