Doctor’s visit in Parle

Much has happened since the previous posts. I finally gave up on trying to patch the marriage and have moved back to the father, which isn’t a big improvement, but still as step in the right direction. So, we needed a pediatrician in Parle, and we went to one this time. And what an ace!!!… Read More »

Meeting Dokya

One of our friends from the mountaineering days is Dr. Milind Chitale. We had been planning to take Nisarga and his medical papers to him for a friend’s opinion on his issues and treatment. Accordingly, finally we took Nisarga today. My father had come along, which was a bit awkward for me, because there were… Read More »

Nisarga’s medical history

Been working on this post for a bit. Many people asking exactly what is wrong with Nisarga, so putting it together the best I can. He was fine till he was 3-4 months old. Had just begun turning to side, catching toys, etc when he kind of just… regressed. Low body tone – hypotonia. Just… Read More »

Not doing right by Nisarga

Getting a “much deserved” lecture on how to stop avoiding home life and start “doing more” at home. House is a mess. I know. I should hire another maid. Can’t afford. They all have their problems with me, but still don’t want me to leave. They are large hearted. I wish they weren’t. What they… Read More »

Drawing with Nisarga

Uh…. no. He didn’t actually draw these, he…. directed them. He was fussy, so to entertain him, I started telling him about the website design work I was doing. One thing led to another, and we fiddled around with the Harmony script for drawing – an adapted version of which forms the background of this… Read More »

Conversational contexts

Nisarga has really started picking up on overall meanings/tones of conversations. And he’s on my side!!! Make that he’s on my side in defending his rights. Two incidents. We were meeting the big physiotheripast – the main woman – Dr. Urmila Kamat. She comes once in a while and meets a lot of people, so… Read More »

Abgugiya

No clue what this means, but it does mean something crucially important. He keeps saying this on and off. Abgugiya and boogiya. He says like he’s identifying/recognizing something. Boogi seems to he “Bhook lagli” – hungry. Not that the two words sound remotely similar, just from his expressions and the time he uses it as… Read More »

Nisarga’s dinner out

Yesterday, we went out for dinner. Uh… not valentine’s day, but a friend’s son’s birthday party. I was a bit apprehensive about the whole thing, considering that it was bound to be noisy and I just hoped that when push came to shove, we wouldn’t end up being miserable ourselves and making everyone else miserable.… Read More »

The last few months

I haven’t had time to write the last few months. I got busy, then there was some problem with the blog that I didn’t have time to diagnose… Anyway, much has happened in the last few months, and some of it I’ll be writing separate posts about. On his health front, my earlier concerns are… Read More »
