Our son, Seth, had brain damage at birth. This is a personal account of raising a child with additional/special needs. It may be just a cathartic process for me but I hope that it becomes more and that other parents find it helpful, through shared experiences

Seth has glasses!
I took this photo in the opticians immediately after the glasses were fitted. Over the following days we have been able to see a difference in Seth. He is looking around more and smiling. Even when his head drops down his eyes look up whereas before he would just look down and seem uninterested. He also doesn't seem to mind wearing them either, although he smudges then when he rubs his nose :). He's also talking more; responding to 'goodbyes' and 'hellos' but I'm not sure we can attribute this to his new glasses because I was doing that before. However, if Seth is finding it easier to focus on the world around him it's got to help his ability to understand and respond to it!!!
Not a bad start to the year.
