Speech eval.

So yesterday we had his speech evaluation done. Here is the short version. After two hours of evaluating she came to the conclusion of yes he need speech therapy. I could have told her that. As for his delays in his understanding of speech he is at a 12-15 month level which is consistent with his other levels. His expressive communication was at a bigger level of delay. It was at a 9-12 level. I was a little surprised by that number but not much. Like I said I knew there was a problem. So we are now adding in another therapy once a week (I think). So the grand total is 4 therapies one time a week and one once a month thru January and then we drop the once a month one.  Again I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sorry it has been a while for an update. We have been REALLY busy. We are coming to our one year anniversary with therapy. In this year I have seen tremendous improvement in Andrew. The biggest being in his physical abilities. When we started Andrew was 11 months. He JUST learned how to crawl and sit on his own. He also didn't have the reflex to catch himself if he fell. Now he is doing so great. We have stopped with the leg braces and now use very supportive shoes. He can walk with confidence and he can run. Boy can he ever run. He had a quick evaluation last week and he will have his formal one for P/T next month but she said that he was at a 20 month level and he is 22 months old.

We did get the call for speech and he will be evaluated tomorrow for that. 

He had his eyes checked again and for sure he will need glasses in a year or two. He also went to the dentist. He has no cavities but he did manage to grind the enamel off two of his upper teeth. I have no idea how that happened. 

Next week we are going for our 6 month (a little late) follow up with the audiologist. 

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be thankful for.
