Another disappointment this week. We found out we will not being getting a wheelchair ordered by the end of this year. After a frustrating set of delays with the home care company, we have decided to begin the process over again with Children's. Given their volume of clients, we are hoping that they will be better prepared to guide us through this order and through the insurance company requirements. I am really hoping that they will allow us to order the chair we had already picked out. After searching through catalogs and online retailers, it seems to be the best fit for us (plus, it is the coolest).
Tuesday, Aimee and I met with the Neurodevelopmental Clinic. Nothing new or exciting here. They still don't have any major revelations for us. He is going to allow us to have Aimee's eyes retested finally! It may not make any difference, but the hearing aids helped so much that I want to be sure there is nothing they can do. It has also been a year since we were last there.
He is also recommending that we start taking Aimee to the dentist, since she will soon be 2 years old (yikes!). I am hoping that our regular dentist will feel comfortable treating her.
We had her head measured again while we were there and it looks like she has dropped the slightest amount on the percentile chart (from .29% to .26%). When you are barely on the chart though, those little numbers make a difference. The growth curve is flattening out for her, as it does normally at this age. Too bad, I was hoping for a bit of catch up.
Next week Aimee will be having another Chiropractic exam. Maybe we will be able to switch from two adjustments to one a week. Maybe. We are also hoping to go in very soon and meet with the Physical Therapist down at Children's to get this chair order rolling.
These next few weeks should be nice and quiet on our front. Occupational therapy is on break as of the end of this week, as well as, the school district.
