Nathanael Learning to Walk

Nathanael's physio therapy at HUKM.

As you can see, Nathanael has his gators on, and he is being taught how to put one foot in front of the other in a walking step movement.

Nathanael on a Tricycle

This is Nathanael's first attempt on a Tricycle. Cool huh?

I don't think i even got on one, when i was 2 years old! :) hehe

Anyway .. as part of his Physio Therapy at HUKM, Nathanael put on his "gators" (special leg braces - to keep the knees straight) and he was put on a Tricycle to experience the movement of being on a moving vehicle.

Did you realize that Nathanael is actually quite TALL! :)

Nathanael's Eye Check Up

Last Tuesday Nathanael went for his Eye Check up at HKL.

The good news is that Nathanael's vision has improved.

In fact nowadays, if you play with him, he can gaze and focus at you.

Two nights ago, when Tiff and I were playing with Nathanael.

I would carry Nathanael at about 3 feet away from Tiff.

Tiff would call out Nathanael, and in an instant, Nathanael would turn towards mommie!

Awesome!

Nathanael Playing With Colored Pebbles

Nathanael at Bridges Early Intervention Program (EIP) School.

His teacher, Teacher Dolly is sitting with him, and using his hands to learn to feel the different textures of the pebbles.

Please continue to pray for Nathanael. He still doesn't like anyone holding his hands.

He always struggle, when anyone tries to hold or grip it. So this is one area that he needs to improve further.

Put your hand in, turn it around, play with it, feel the pebbles move thru the fingers ...

Its a good sensory therapy to feel the stones moving thru your fingers.

Nathanael's Standing Therapy

Nathanael in HUKM with his therapists, on a different standing & walking frame.

This is part of his Physio Therapy at HUKM.

You can see Nathanael ain't too happy when is placed on the standing Frame.

So he needs consoling or we will use music to relax him.

Nathanael is wearing his "gators" which is a brace-like thingy which he wears on his leg.
What's important is that the Gator has a metal bar running thru it, and the knee is
placed in the middle of it to help Nathanael to stand, and so that his knees don't buckle.

Nathanael is learning to stand and learning to put his foot forward

A Manja Picture of Nathanael

How's this for a change of pictures?

Rather than the typical home styled shots taken by our "capalang" 4Megapixels camera,

Here are some outrageously beautiful shots taken by Daniel during a recent lunch.

I like Daniel's style of photography, he captures a photo that really has a thousand words.

Nathanael ... laughing when sitting on a Chair.

Nathanael being manja (and he really knows how to be manja!!!)

*Anyone knows what "manja" is in English? Have asked heaps of people but no one seems to be able to come up with a satisfactory translation of the malay word ... Manja!
