We had Jacob's recheck with the pediatrician this morning. They checked both ears and there still is fluid - the eardrums appear to be thicker which means fluid is present - right ear was worse than the left. The Dr. is ordering a hearing screen and we'll go from there. Jacob is also 33.5" tall and weighs 28 lbs.
Early On comes back tomorrow afternoon to give their formal report. My instincts are telling me that it will come back just like before - "Yes, he's a little delayed in some things in his age group but, he did score some requirements above his age group therefore we can't help him at this time." I hope my instincts are right.
Both of the boys are much better today. Jeremy worked through his bug by sleeping most of the day. Jacob took a 3 hour nap and seemed to be back on track. When we were at the Dr. today the nurse said that there is a nasty bug going around...just like what we had and that just when you think it's done, it gives you one more punch. Nice.
I ran away for an hour or so yesterday . I hadn't left the house since Friday afternoon and I needed a break from those pukers. I ran to the dollar store for a lap desk for Jacob (he likes having picnics) and down to the fabric store to finish a quilt that my sister's and I started over 2 years ago. I have the quilt blocked, framed, and pinned. I bought my fabric to make the binding while I was out. I have to do the quilting and bind it and she'll be done! Then what can I sew?
I've been a sew-aholic lately. I just want to sew, sew, sew. I want to make more sheets, finish these quilts (I have 3 going BTW), make a baseball quilt and more, more, more. I find myself wandering the fabric stores in a daze - "ooh, look at all the pritty colors..."
All of you have certainly been busy, but I am sure that all the apts and tests will be worth it in the end. I am glad to hear that Jacob and Jeremy are better, having the pukes is not fun especially for Jacob.
ReplyDeleteI hope the hearing test will be soon so that things can get moving for him. We are looking forward to hearing about the evaluation as well.
Love,
