Summer 2007

Another EEG, taken in July, showed no epileptic attacks, although we can't be sure whether attacks do occur. Especially that, upon waking up, Luukas' head and eyes make some involuntary movements. A Polish doctor warned us against Lukas' shutting from the world, so we've been helping Lukas to pay attention to people. Luukas has been the happiest ever in recent months, he laughs more, shouts happily and is lively. He turns from his sides to his back (it seems that he prefers to lie on his back) and is able to grab his feet without us helping him. He takes a look at people's faces sometimes and grabs toys. He sits better (still needs help) but his physiotherapist is certain that he will sit by himself. Luukas has started to chew and bite food, and he claps his hands and claps them a lot :) He loves water, he enjoys our Saturday morning swimming and sauna very much. Luukas walks in shallow water when we are holding him, but due to his CP he walks on his toes.

Someone has written a comment that only science will help Luukas. Well, science, yes, but not only. See the posts below :) Oh, and we ARE using scientific methods to help Luukas.

To all those who pray. Please continue. Thank you!
