Over the last week, Fiona and I have noticed that
Fintan seems to be seeing more. He is fixing and following on objects we hold in front of him, even if we move the object relatively quickly. We are so pleased with this development, it makes the hope of him being able to read and enjoy the things we do more of a reality. Until
Fintan goes back to the Royal London for his next eye exam just after the new year, we cannot be sure if this is because the chemotherapy is reducing the tumours, if this is purely down to him adapting to what he has got, or even if it is simply normal developmental progression; either way, it's a real step forward and we are very, very proud of him.
A couple more recent achievements:
Fintan is now almost sitting on his own, and is even saying "Daddy" :-) I have to admit, it's more of a "
Da.........
DEEE", but I know what he means!
There will be video evidence soon.
Finally, here is a picture of Archie,
Fintan and Barnaby to wish you all a bit of Festive cheer. I hope you appreciate it, it only took me about 200 shots to get them all to finally look at the camera, and yes,
Fintan is looking at the camera ;-)
