SWEET, PATIENT, AND FUNNY

Just a few words I would use to describe my liitle girl today. I am so proud of my sweet little Sissy. She was a trooper today. She HATES strangers invading her space and she is usually not cooperative if confronted by one in any way. She was tested today to see about getting her some much needed speech therapy. She had her eyes checked no tears, her ears checked, a full screening, and a lot of motor skill testing all with perfect and different strangers each time and not one fit or tear filled tantrum. She definitely qualified for some help but during her hearing test we found out she may have only partial hearing in her left ear. I am so sad about this little turn of events. I had to go to her Dr's office for a referral to the ENT to have more testing done and she has an active ear infection in her left ear which they said may have given us a false test result. I sure hope that is true. We will put her on this new antibiotic and when it's finished we are off to see if this is true and how it will affect her long term. They said it should not effect her speech but she is almost three and has not even progressed to two word sentences. Believe me when I say that has not been a problem when she really wants something she has her high pitched whiny way of getting it. This one is nothing if not resourceful! Because she had such a long morning and I did not have time to take her home she got to go to Aunt KayDee's B-day lunch with us. That was a great way to end a stressful but productive morning. Happy Birthday big Sis:) I hope your day was a happy day!!!!! I am so glad my little girl is finally going to get the help she deserves.
