Speech Therapy

Yikes, speech therapy, it's good, it's needed but we will be busy. I took Nathan out to lunch today, put a dot of ketchup on his plate, signed more when he wanted ketchup, dot on plate, got him to sign more, and again, again, again, please he would say, more, sign it, again, again, he'd get it....but it was exhausting. It's hard to remember to make him do things and then it's easy to just hand him something.

While I was at Speech, the orthopedic appointment came through, then the occupational therapist, then the physical therapist.....NOW I NEED THERAPY!!!

No seriously, it's a bunch of things to do but I am enjoying the learning the talking to the Mom's who are going through similar issues. The appointment lady that called had a child with some syndrome where he was operated on and wanted to know more about the hemihypertrophy support that is out there, so we talked. It's good, I feel like I am being put in a different zone of life, one that I never expected.

My friend told me today her son had twelve specialist. Oh dear, I was shocked. Twelve, well yes I guess that happens. Nathan has three, plus three therapist.
