ENT and other stuff

o we have a touch of good news. Alta Regional center will pay for his formula!!! YEAH! They will give us 3 cases per month. I am going to try for four because he will go thru this faster than the other stuff.

He also saw the ENT last week. He is 2/3's tongue tied. If it would have been caught when he was born they would have snipped it in the hospital. Now that he is older there is no immediate reason to do so. If it impedes his speech with in the year we will schedule him to be put under-again- and have it done. If not then we will wait until he is closer to 5 or 6 and have it done in office with novocaine. He said there was no tongue muscle involved and it is only the skin. It may just stretch out on it's own because skin stretches. So that is a wait and see.

He will require another brace on his left leg. So we go in next week to get the RX for that and it will be about a month again. Granted they don't screw it up again.

He is getting close to his 6 month mark in therapy. He gets reevaluated on June 11th to see if we will continue. He had his P/T reevaluation and se recommends another 6 months because of his low tone and control.

Our Infant development goals were way off. At the time I thought "Oh, Yeah that is no problem those are too easy." Well of the 10 goal she set up for him he has reached 2 1/2 of them. Here were his gaols.

-Finger feed
-Use a spoon
-Drink from a cup
-Say mama and daddy as names
-Play pat-a-cake
-Identify 2 objects and 2 body parts
-Build a tower of 3-4 cubes
-Release ball with slight cast
-Scribble
-Look for hidden object

So of that list he can say mama and daddy and he can drink from a cup (kinda, still pretty messy) and the half i think he does is he knows dog and if you show him pictures he will look at it or look for our dog but he doesn't point to it. So maybe we should call it 2 1/4 of the items completed.


I filed for SSI for him a the request of his P/T she said i should give it a shot. So I got all the paperwork filled out and I need to make an appointment to go in and submit it all and that can take up to 120 days. So we will see.
