Aug '12 update

Therapy is still progressing. Ellie had a goal to initiate 10 activities herself. Bring us games to play without us telling her to, initiating she is hungry though signing ect, she has almost matered this goal! We have also almost met our first speech therapy goal of her signing back 10 signs! To us it seems like it is taking forever but therapy is so happy with her progress! We go to the ortho doctor later this week and are hoping for our braces within the next couple of weeks. With those she might have a walker as well, so we hope to get some professional decor advice from Julie for our new gear!

I had a phone call this last week about Ellie's hearing. She does have confirmed mild hearing loss in the L ear that we were told she might need a hearing aid for. We are now told with the R ear being normal that the mild loss is not enough that she would greatly benefit from a hearing aid so we wait and retest in Sept!

Aug 29th Ellie goes for an MRI of her brain to look for the brain damage to know what we are up against! Great to know but scary as they have to put her under general anesthesia for this,,, not a fan of this! Please remember us on this day and pray for knowledgable attentive staff to keep her safe during her anesthesia!

And I have to include Alex as well. He starts preschool 5 days a week Sept 4th, he is super excited and loves his school! He is so helpful with Ellie and a great big brother!
