Hug Twice

Alexa is still on the mend.  She’s not 100% yet, but she is definitely getting better and will continue to get better.    I hope that the reaction she had is never ever repeated.

In other Alexa news, the early intervention agency came to our house yesterday to give me the formal results of her evaluation and talk about therapy options.  She is more than 2 standard deviations delayed in communication and social skills (tied to communication), which just means she has a significant delay.  Her other areas were fine, and she actually is above expected for her age in a number of areas, including fine motor skills and adaptive skills.  So I selected a speech pathologist from the profiles I was given (as opposed to a developmental therapist) and they are supposed to call me within the next week to set up a weekly appointment.

I’m pretty mellow about it all, all things considered.  I think the allergic reaction scare made me realize that there are worse things than having a speech delay.  And if it persists into next year, I already know how the school system programs work, so there’s that.
