These past few weeks have been super busy, stressful, fun and exhausting! Everyone got sick over the last 3 weeks. Michael and Grandma were super sick with the flu. But both are finally feel back to normal.
About 3 weeks ago I started Michael on a new medication after doing a lot of reading about speech delays and autism and also talked with his doctor and she said it would not hurt him. So he is now taking fish oil 2 times a day. It is liquid and mango flavored but he still is not a fan. Anyways I really think it is helping him. He has started talking so much in the last 2 weeks it is insane. I mean he is saying 3 word sentences! I just can't believe it. Yes I know his therapy is helping too but I do think the fish oil had something to do with it as well.
We also had Michael's 6 month review (IFSP meeting) with S.A.R.C.! It went well. He has made a lot of improvements in many areas. We are also going to be starting O.T. next week! I am not sure if it is for 2 -30 minute sessions a week or 2-1 hours sessions So we will see. I am hoping that well help with some of the sensory and fine motor issues. He will continue with ABA 20 hours a week and speech 2 hours a week. The best part is that all of these services are now with the same company A is for Apple and Kaiser and S.A.R.C.are both communicating with them. Communication is the worst part of all of this but they are working on it because I have complained enough and these last 3 weeks everything is working a lot better. Michael's ABA therapist is amazing. She started in December and it is a great fit. We only had to go through about 4 different therapist to get the right match. But it all feels as everything is finally falling into place. I am slowly feeling less and less stressed with everything. The best part is that I am seeing the results of all of this in Michael. That makes all my this fights and pushing worth it.
Now that Michael is in a groove with everything I get to finally start focusing on me a little more. My health has been crappy ever since my hysterectomy. I feel like my body is letting me down. It is hard to be sick/not feel good and have so much stuff going on. I just try not to give in, complain or even think about it. I just keep moving a long and doing my best to enjoy ever minute I get to spend with my kids, Ken and family. I am so lucky that I get to stay home and be with my kids. I am hopeful that all will be better in the next few months. I will find out more later this week and we will take it one day at a time if we have too.
Kaylee is going to start Kindergarten in August and we are going to an open house on Tuesday to a school that we would really like her to go too. It is super close to where we live (walking distance) but we will see. I am still having a hard time believing that she is old enough to go!!
Well that is it for now it is bedtime!
