Still Crazy

Things are as busy as ever down here. Eli has started speech and ABA therapy. After one rough session, he has actually settled in nicely. He also had his initial evaluation with the child psychologist. He goes back for more in-depth testing next week.

Both boys had appointments with the audiologist. Sean's tests showed that the organs in the ear are working. But because Sean would not react to any of the sounds, the doctor was concerned that he isn't processing auditory input. Eli's test were completely inconclusive. Both boys will be tested next week up in Birmingham. They will have a brain stem activity test done so that we will know whether or not their auditory nerves are firing correctly when they hear things. The test isn't painful or invasive and they can watch their favorite TV shows while they are being tested.

Sean was supposed to start preschool this week, but because of some crazy staffing issues, he won't start for two more weeks. But we did get the news that the program will be all day, every day. I think that will be great. For him and me!

We got to visit the grandparents in South Carolina last weekend. Sean played trains with his Papaw K., and he's still talking about it a week later.
