Rebecca’s update

This week has been a long week, and it is only half over.

Actually, last week we met with someone from the Benton-Franklin 0-3 year program to talk about Rebecca. She asked questions about Rebecca and I answered them. When we were done, she added up all the numbers and Rebecca was in the grey for one category and behind in the rest. She was going to take the information with her and discuss the results in a meeting. Got a call from her today saying that with Rebecca’s scores, she is in for in-home therapy of sorts. (I am typing this upstairs right now while putting the kids to bed and do not have my notes so some info (names of program,etc) might be a little off). Anyways, it is in the works for that.

Also last Friday, Rebecca had an ultrasound and met with the urologist, Dr. Starr. The fluid in her kidneys is getting better so when the doctor comes back in May, we will repeat the ultrasound and see her again. We may need to do another Mag3 test up in Spokane in 3 months to see how long it takes her kidneys/bladder to drain but we will see in May.

Back to this week. Yesterday we only had OT. (our PT was out sick) Rebecca did great. Using more of her muscles and didn’t fuss as much being moved here and there. The OT was happy with her progress.

Today we met for Speech. Rebecca played with the toys and Katie (ST) finished her evaluation. She has pleased with Rebecca’s progress as well and really liked that she was babbling a lot more.

I bought Rebecca an electric toothbrush as they recommended and it has been funny to watch her. She does not like it by her face but today she let it move against her tongue. Her expression was classic and she tried to wipe her tongue off (on my hand) afterwards. 🙂

Tomorrow we meet with the dietician for the first time. She will be coming to the house. Not quite sure what to expect there other than to go over her feedings and see if she needs to increase her calories even more.

As I’ve mentioned before, THANK YOU so much for your continued prayers. They are so appreciated! We did get our thank you cards in and aim working to get them out.

More updates to come.
