well, although - of course - it was way too long from a separation standpoint, it is incredible how quickly 4 weeks can pass by when measuring by what all was left undone... but mommy and benG are already and finally back home. and even if the doctors' reports read terribly, benG is fine. above all he could confirm being up to date mentally. he knows virtually all his colors, he answers questions by pointing at pictures, he finds his animals in the picture book and points them out... so, basically everything just like his younger siblings, maybe even a tad better than collin. but the maledict motorics..! this chapter is just one long shopping list... orthesis, special stroller, special seat, special shoes with special inserts, galileo-shaker... but maulbronn has - as expected - done miracles, yet again! benG brings his right hand into play a lot more now, is able to hold his head far longer straight, does not need any more special foods and has started to build up some leg muscles. we are still positively convinced that he will catch up one day. and even if that would take a long time and be pretty hard, our beloved benG gives us more than enough hpe and motivation... see for yourself:
