Summary & Behavioral notes Week 1

Mood- is just about the same- ups and downs- laughs and screams
Sleep - same unpredictable pattern although the ear thing probably has made things worse
Hands - I think he's using his left a little more but that might have happened with or without treatments
Legs- still crossing as he walks - no improvements
Eating- more interested I think- but this could be because he's gone so long without eating much
Mellow-ness - Let me change his diaper 3 times in the last two days without screaming about it - he lets other people change him without fussing but I was surprised to get it 3 times
Awareness- this is a good experiment to find out how much he knows/understands - he really does understand what he's about to go through- when he sees the person taking him into the chamber he starts up immediately and when the person comes to check his ears before each dive he's really upset before she even gets to us
Eyes- Still crossing- both - same frequency
Muscles - still as tight
Reflux- although it takes prevacid a few days to kick in (or so I thought) his reflux has been much better since day 2 of starting it up - I can't think of much gagging at all and the spit up thing hasn't happened in a few days at least.  It doesn't appear to be interfering with sleep either
Crawl- more likely to want to roll all the way over and rolling to each side easier and quicker
