Ok... first I now work at Texas Childrens Hospital! I LOVE IT!!! It is just amazing! I have always loved working with kids... and when I was passed over at Hermann it was one reason I left... but I have not been as happy at my job with big people as I was when I worked with little peoples... So now that I am back where I belong I feel that the skills that I learned along the way brought me to where I need to be! I know that I wouldn't be where I was if I had stayed where I was at and I am so excited! It does mean eventually I will spend more time with my boy... but right now it does make the weeks long cause we get up early for work then come home for bed... but I KNOW it is SO worth it all!
Ok enough about me this is about my boy! But I wanted to add that cause it does mean that I will get to spend more time with him eventually!
Grayson had started to talk a lot more... he says more words... but still does not say "strings" of words... so he is still classified as speech delayed but as opposed to being about 12months delayed he is now about 6-8months delayed... which is a huge improvement in 6 months! Gray is starting to count some (1-3)... and does say a few things... and he does know when the difference between yes and no and says so! He is potty trained prob 85%... he knows when he needs to go... when he has gone... and when he is dirty... he doesn't quiet get the concept of telling... he still pees on himself... BUT he is getting better! But he does control his stream well!
His kisses... oh they make my day... he gives the most precious kisses... he will come kiss my knee... or shoulder... especially if he is trying to get my attention! He LOVES to jump... oh how the boy can jump... he loves it! Umm lets see what else... he knows I think all of his animal sounds... he knows most shapes... he is getting better on his colors... He loves Yo Gabba Gabba... The Fresh Beat Band... Team Umizoomi... The Upside Down Show...
We went and got his hearing rechecked last week at his 6month post tubes check-up and they are still in Praise the Lord... but they are starting to show signs of needing replacement for incorrect size so back we will be in 3 months as opposed to 4 months like we were hoping! His hearing test did not come back like I wanted... he does show signs of hearing loss it is still minimal... but it is not improving like the ENT said it should... he still believes that it will get better... but for now We will be aggressive! He is getting a re-evaluation with speech therapy since he does have minimal hearing loss and he has been symptomatic in the past from the hearing loss SO till it is all corrected and he no longer has symptoms we will continue to have 3 month follow-ups with the ENT to ensure correct fit of the tubes... and he doesn't have any issues like before! This makes me sad as I REALLY hoped that we would get a good report from the ENT of we could wait 6months for the next follow=up unless something came up... BUT now if he has ANY signs of ear infection I am to come straight to the ENT and there is a good chance we will be getting new tubes! Also his adnoids removed at the same time!
OK... well I know there is more but I'm tired... will be back later!
