What a great week we have had. Keely is making progress everyday. It's slow progress, but it's progress and we couldn't ask for more. First of all, she went to see her occupational therapist on Tuesday. We had been sick and had some other issues come up that she had not seen her in three weeks. She was suprised by how well Keely was doing. She said her language was really coming all and she was saying so many new words and that her play and imitation was so much better.
Keely has been getting speech therapy through the public schools. I had asked her OT a couple of times about whether she needed to be getting speech therapy privately as well. We had always decided to wait since she really didn't have enough words to really work with. Well this week, Keely was doing so well with her speech, that she told us it was time to start private speech therapy along with what she was getting as school. We are so excited and looking forward to get it all set up.
We also went back to Texas to see her doctor this week. In the waititng room they have a rug with the alphabet on it. Keely started saying her abc's and then at the end she went on to sing the part about next time won't you sing with me. She said it a few times while we were there and a couple of more times on the way home. I am pretty sure it was the sweetest abc's I have ever heard!
The visit went well. She got another secretin infusion and some new supplements. This is her third secretin infusion. They seem to really help her. She seems to use more words after getting them.
