Can you see him say hi? Yes, I can.   01:08 He's 18 months old. And I noticed since birth one of you I don't know if it's one or both or depending is looks like it's slightly off. I don't know if you receive the pictures I sent.   01:21 Just okay. And I attempted a golden I like an ophthalmologist but I kind of walked out politely because they just wanted to do too much dilate. I just didn't want to do that just yet. And I'm wondering if you could help assess what the problem might be. And if there's something natural or exercise or something holistic that could maybe be treated or   01:43 want to make sure it's not an issue and it's not going to get worse and you know, something I have to be ahead of.   01:50 Absolutely. So Alexandre is 18 months old. Is that Is that correct? Yes. Okay, and tell me a little bit about your gestation period, the birth process. Anything unusual there? I went through IVF for about eight years. I had him when I was 51. I actually carried him through to 37 weeks. And we were supposed to go to 40 i My pregnancy was fine. No issues. No you no nausea, no cravings, nothing. It's just up to 37 weeks. i My blood pressure was starting to elevate so my OB wanted to to take him out and we did a C section. He was born four pounds along the weight 15 ounces. And they said he was just under five pounds. So they had to put him in a NICU and they said it's because he had a little low blood sugar and low body temperature. We were both in the hospital for about five days. Me to regulate my blood pressure and then my son to regulate his body temp and his sugar. And then we released and since then he's you know, he's seeing a holistic pediatrician and he's taking vitamin D probiotic, and DHA and NACA what? He's been healthy hasn't been sick.   03:05 Great. Okay.   03:08 So, after the birth, brought him home, what is his? What is his mobility? Does he move around a lot? Is he on his tummy at all? Do you know what's kind of active mobile activities? Are you engaging with him when he was when he came home from the hospital or in general? Well, you know, after so he's 18 months.
