Merry Christmas: Santa Delivers the Goods

Dear Naughty Ones,
You are lucky I am human and I have physical needs.
Mrs. Claus made my bed on the couch unless I delivered the goods as planned.
Note: YOU ARE WELCOME!
Recommendation: Forgive others and be charitable or I will be forced to open up a can of whoop buns on you!
Remember: Thats my wave baby! Don’t cut me off…
11 months

Eleven months already, and no update when she was ten months. Naughty Daddy…
We’re in good spirits. Robin is very much making herself known. She is fully aware of the world around her, also when things drop to the ground, or when she sees something in Tijn’s hands that she would like to have. Grabbing, reaching, leaning forward or sideways, bending over, her movements only limited by her lack of control over her body, particularly her upper body. I think the best English word to describe her now is feisty.
Lying on her back is totally not what she wants. Especially not since we started to help her stand against something firm, as you see above. This is totally her thing now: standing and then grabbing everything she can get hold of. Balance is not something she can maintain by herself. And her legs remain firmly in one position. She has no control over them when she stands. But boy, does she stand!
Last Friday, after we had returned from our holiday Robin got tubes in her hear. Several hearing tests had shown that the fluid in her middle ear was quite persistent. So tubes were in order. The operation went fine, no hick-ups. She went in around 8am, and by 12 she was already happily eating her lunch. The days after a lot of fluid leaked from both ears, so that was good.
Robin is great to be with. Always has been, but now that she is so active and so ‘with it’, mostly happy, eating well, and just too cuddly to be true. Day care is closed this week, as is Feline’s school, so the kids are with Patty’s parents. But we almost made an exception for Robin. Almost… 
We will have a talk to her physiotherapist to discuss Robin’s upper body. She’s weak in that part, which is why she hardly makes any progress with sitting. The question is whether this is something we can train or otherwise support. Perhaps all it needs is time. But since she is so anxious, frustrated even, to get going, if there is something we can do, that would be great.
On the neurological side we have our next semi-annual appointment with the neurologist in August, so more about that in the 12 month update. But we do not expect much from it. Myeline development is not something they can do anything about and it will take another year before we now what has happened in her brain.
A couple of days ago we found the story of a Belgium lady with a son that was born with symptomatic congenital CMV, like Robin. He is now in his teens, with impaired motor skills, emotionally behind, and with ADHD. But also with an IQ of 134 and working his way through high school! That was really the first time we read about such a case. Now that Robin is growing older, she continues to lag by about 3-4 months all-in-all, not more. But her mental development seems further than her physical one. The way she enjoys a Baby Einstein DVD is brilliant, laughing out loud at some of the actions and figures.
Who knows? One day at a time.
