good news! yay!

So Graydon had his regular PT appointment yesterday. Last time they decided since hes behind in all aspects of his development that he should see a speech therapist, even though hes still just a little guy and still learning to say things. We figured he would be behind in that as well. Since my older kids are 9 and 15 and I am older and lacking the memory skills I once had, I don't remember what they were saying at this age. Well the good news is, hes perfecty normal and does NOT need speech therapy. We are so happy...! Hes doing well, and she was very impressed that he can say YES with no problem with the SSSSSSSS part. Woo hoo! Now that hes a walking machine, he will catch up in no time, or so they project. Its so great to finally know hes not totally behind...now we just need to fatten him up and get him stronger!

appointment update/rant

Ok I am so seriously sick of useless appointments. To go spend an hour sitting in the freaking waiting room then wait in the patient room...with a squirmy naked toddler that just wants to get down and play. All to have 3 doctors come in, yes we got a team...to say well just keep up what you're doing. The only good suggestion was to give him beans for regularity. I know my doctor thought highly of this group of pediatric specialists but really it was a waste of our time.

Oh and when I mentioned magnesium sulfate, of course I got an "well its not proven" answer. Then why is there a ton of information saying so on the net? They also said that it only causes temp hypotonia...not acute benign hypotonia. Well maybe if the dumbasses in Yakima didnt give me too much??? How do I know they gave me the right amount? I was strapped to a table with my flesh burning off.

Anyway...keep on doing what we're doing. DUH. I could have told MYSELF that.
