SUSHMITHA HAS DIFFICULTY IN TURNING HER GAZE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT

Sushmitha has difficulty in seeing right. She cannot turn her gaze from left to right. Already her doctor Dr Pushpa kini has told me this long back. We are giving her lot of visual stimulation to improve her vision. We give her mirror. She is made to look from left to right and then right to left. This atleast 3,4 times. Then we rotate mirror clockwise so that she rotates her eyeballs likewise. Then we show her visual toys which have colourfull lights, music, and which can move. She tracks. We also vary the speed. Also around bed we put pendrive music along with colourfull toy so that she follows both music and light. Sometimes with music light is shown along with mirror alternatively. We also call from up, stairs, from window. But Sushmitha's nurse Mallika tells me aunty, we seem to remain where we are after giving so much stimulation. We are still doing zeeb dakayi, kannu mucchu, amma nodu, kai gatti hidi(hold hand tight). She was obeying commands earlier. BUT NOW SHE ONLY GIVES EYE CONTACT. I still have some positive points. I will not be weak. When I told Dr Pushpa Kini about this she consoled me Geetha not letting her deterorate further itself is improvement sometimes. Theree are no bed sores and she is nowhere stiff. I agree with her. But time machine please stop for I fear you might have more difficulties in future for my child.Everybody is dissatisfied at home and quarrel for silly things.But I know I need everybody and I will try my best for my child, for my mom for helpers who help me.
