Early On came yesterday and did Jacob's evaluation. His speech is delayed by about 5 months. He does qualify for services at this time. Based on his development thus far, the 10-20 words he has added to his vocabulary this past week, they are going to monitor him once a month, over the next six months. They gave us a couple of handouts to work with him on too. We suspect the Dr. is going to do tubes...just from the comments from the Audiologist. We're waiting for the referral to the ENT to come through. If the tubes don't come or Jacob stops making progress, we'll change our plan of action.
I have a formal interview next week for my new job. I passed everything here. I have a flight out and back next Tuesday. Jen (bless her heart), scrambled with me a few minutes yesterday to get a resume together. I thought this was a behind the scenes, job transfer type deal and I was wrong. It's a little more complicated but, I'll do it and it'll be just fine. We're planning a weekend trip to Manistee should this work out - as celebration.
Jeremy goes in for ADD/ADHD testing in 2 weeks. I don't know what that involves or means for him but if it helps him in the long run, that's the best we can ask for.
Our yard still looks like a crime scene. Thank you, God for all of the snow to cover the ugliness. We're hoping to remove a couple of trees through the process and establish some nice plants and flowers once spring arrives. Yeah it's ugly now but, maybe a blessing in disguise.
It's getting kinda crazy doing both my "old" job and my "new" job. I probably won't be back until we hear from the Dr. about our ENT referral. Talk to you then!
There is just so much going on in your lives right now...
ReplyDeleteThanks for updating us on the plan with Jacob. I will be praying that, with the monitoring of Early On, some vocab progress will be made. It also sounds as if tubes would be a good thing at this point. Keep us posted on whether that remains an option.
I will also pray for you and Jeremy, as he goes through testing, and you go through your interviewing process tomorrow. I wish I could be there to cheer you on beforehand. But please know I'll be cheering you on from afar. :)
Take Care.
