Woo Hoo

I have posted!!! I keep saying I am going to get better but I can't seem to get my act together so for now you get a bunch of posts with 3 videos included. I figure I needed to make up for the absence of posts.

Kaylie update:

Miss K is doing fantastic!!! She has come so incredibly far and is accomplishing so many of her goals that have been set for her in the past few months we are all blown away. As of now she no longer needs physical therapy or occupational therapy. She needs speech but only for help with her receptive side of things. That means she is needing help understanding what you are saying/asking. Her vocabulary is amazing and she is truly talking up a storm. Spend five minutes with her and you will be busting a gut at the things she has to say. She definitely takes after her mommy in that she has an opinion.

A few weeks ago we completed an evaluation for the preschool program for children with disabilities through our school district. Once she turns 3 she will no longer be able to do ECI so they have to transition them to the school district. The only catch is that they have to qualify. Since Kaylie does not struggle with her cognitive abilities they were thinking about putting her in walk-in speech only. After providing everything we could possibly think of they decided to go ahead and recommend putting her in the preschool program to help fill in the gaps and help with the social side of things that she currently struggles with. We are very grateful for this because we have had so much support we fear losing it would put her more behind. She will start with two weeks left in the school year and then continue once the 2010-2011 school year starts. I can't believe my baby girl is old enough to go to preschool.

Weight wise...After having gained less than a pound since November her body has finally given in and we are now 24 lbs. She is no longer the weight of a 12 month old. Height wise their is really no concern. She is on the charts with that and the doctors are thrilled.

Health...Everyone is so pleased with her progress! We are taking her off her inhaler and changer her to Flovent which is huge. Since we got her immunity fixed her illnesses have been mild compared to the illnesses she had prevaccine. What a blessing. GI wise...he is also thrilled. Weight wise they are no longer concerned and we are not having as many issues with throwing up as we had. We have been slowly increasing her volume of food and she is for the most part tolerating it. The only semi negative thing we have is with her ears. We have one ear that is about to be tubeless. It is pretty much stuck in wax. It has definitely come out way to soon. Hopefully, we will not have any issues from that.

That's about it for now. Enjoy all the pictures!
