He is progressing....

Ian is suddenly starting to make some progress....We got our Chromosome test results back and it is Negative. Chromosome tests were requested by the doctors to check for chromosome disorder. Among the common one that we know about is Down's Syndrome. With this test, they are also able to know if there are other kinds of Syndrome that is causing Ian's developmental delay.
For two weeks while waiting for the test results, I'd wake up every morning with palpitations. We have been told by the doctor if they do find something during the test, there is nothing we can do after all he is born with these genes. So THANK God, it is normal.
WE brought him for his monthly check up last week. More good news-his head is growing!! Albeit it being 0.5 cm but it is at least growing. Then on Monday, he suddenly started creeping on the floor. By tuesday, he was creeping as if he has done it all his (11 months) life. Today-Friday, he has moved 5 feet to get to his toys. He is making AMAZING progress. He has also started to hold his own bottle. Not for long but at least he is holding....

I realise that he is going to take miniscule steps to get to where he needs to be. Nonetheless for every little thing that he is achieving( without even knowing it), my heart swells so much with pride. My leave starts on Monday and I pray that both of us will do AMAZING things in this one year....
