Docs Offices and WONDERFUL NEWS!

I am so excited! I have been very upset because after having things all set up for Noah to begin speech and ot twice a week and pt once a month in addition to the special instructor he already had we found out that our insurance has a stupid loophole that made it impossible for Noah to receive these therapies. I have just been devastated and praying and just unsure what to do. I decided I would have to homeschool speech and research and all. Well, tonight Noah's special therapist from Early steps was here along with his family service coordinator and amazing and wonderful things came out of that appointment. Turns out when we began with early steps someone dropped the ball (and paperwork!) and we have been suppose to be having this family service coordinator contact us each month and all to see how things are going and what else Noah needs and to make sure we understand everything. Well, after 6 months of therapy it was finally discovered that the paperwork never got to the place for the FSP. So today we met her and she explained that Noah can have multiple therapy's as needed. So he can have speech without giving up his therapy with Maria (his special therapist) and without haveing to split the time. Anyway she is searching for a speech therapist to come out to our town but I said if you can't find one I will drive wherever I have to so he can have what he needs. The hope is to have it figured out so he can begin speech next week! :) Also he will have a special Occupational therapy about twice a month and continue with Maria 3 times a week. We meet again next month and at that time the speech person can say if he needs more days a week and that can be applied for. And also all the therapist and me will meet together and determine if there are any new areas we need to work on or new therapist we need to have. Basically they said he can have as many therapist as he needs as long as each one only comes once a week. Though if more than once a week is needed then she says they can get that approved too! but it is a process. I had no clue all this was available to Noah through Early Steps! :) GOD KNEW! :) I was literally in tears talking to them when I realized that these people wanted to really help Noah and this FSP lady was gonna get him all the services he needed! I am doing a happy dance now! :)


Today was a day filled with Doctors offices! Noah had a reacheck at pediatrician today and his sinus infection is worse with some blood in the drainage so he got another antibiotic shot for that but his lungs sounded "much less gunky" heehee I love his pediatrician! And he is right up the road in our little town so that is SOOOO nice :)



Celeste had a doctor's appointment this afternoon and so Noah and I took her to that! Below are some pictures from the day and at the bottom is a video of delerium that sets in when you are waiting in docs offices ALL DAY!




This little Kangaroo climber/slide is in the "sick room" waiting side. Friday when we were there Noah was too sick to care about playing but today he was feeling good enough to play! :) I would LOVE to have on of these! :) He had so much fun! Daddy had to help to keep us from fallin on our head!


Here we are comin down the slide. He would get about where he is in this picture and then try to stand and went tumbling a couple times. Daddy had to keep a hand on him to keep him from doin it!



We are in the room now and he is all into the books! look at that concentration!



Daddy is reading him a book

He is so funny trying to pick these up. He was grunting! LOL Been paying too good attention to us when we lift stuff! heehee

LOOK at that face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

TOO TOO CUTE!

Reading with Daddy!

This is so cute to me! He is lookin up at his daddy!

THIS is the first ever time Noah has gotten weighed without screaming! :) they have a big butterfly that hangs above and it flaps its wings, and there is kiddie stuff all over the scale and around it. :) Bobby called him and he looked at him but had been looking at the buttefly overhead! He weighs 25 pounds! He had on heavier clothes today so I guess that is the difference in weight from Friday. He is 34 inches tall! :) He has grown ALOT in height in the past 6 months!

The first part of the video was at the pediatrician, the rest was made in the waiting room at Celeste's doctors office! Noah had gotten the giggles for some reason so I started pullin the stroller down and up to play and join it :) It is so cute! He was tired of doc's offices and I guess delierious! :) heehee Poor guy jut a bit after the video ends he went from laughin to cryin and we are not sure why! He is such a fun little panda boy! :) Hope you enjoy!
