100% hearing and...

Sorry its been so long! 

Last week Kai had his hearing test.  He scored really really well!  They put us in this lil sound room, and played noises and waited for his response - and he responded to all of them!  So, when it appears that he is ignoring us, he is, in fact, just ignoring us!

Last weeks session didn't go so well.  I'm not sure if it was the impending flu that he was about to get (the next day) or just in general.  He was resistant to Lisa and what she wanted to do. 

He also had a follow up with the ENT - he was and is very pleased with his process.  Both surgeries were very much needed.

Kai had another session yesterday, and again, he was resistant.  I really am not sure what is going on with it, but I am feeling frustrated.  He seems to be stuck at a standstill. Lisa comes over, and does the exact.same.thing every time.  Maybe he is bored?  I don't know.  But that brings me to a complaint about the Early On program... the lady we have is really great - but, she is the furthest thing from punctual I have ever met.  She told me from the getgo, that she would call if she was ever more than 10 minutes late... yeah, she is always 10 minutes late and never calls.  Oh, and she calls Kai "Kyle"... even after hearing me call him Kai.  I don't know... just frustrating.

Speaking of Kai - he had the worst flu and other this past weekend... poor bubber is down to 25 lbs.  Such a skinny minnie now!  He is feeling better now, which is good...

Amazing.

In the one week since Kai had his surgery, he has come so far.

He has been saying "Mama", "Dada" (awww, its great to hear that finally!), "NighNigh" (when he wants his blankie, or is saying good night), and he says "Daaaa" when he sees Maddie, and truck... no words for Rylee yet...

Its crazy how far he has come... and such a blessing.    His balance seems much better since the surgery too... he doesn't seem to fall hardly at all anymore, and has mastered jumping.  He has not had any runny noses, or any sickness for that matter - however, he has the most horrible breath ever (from the adenoids being taken out).

He didn't have his therapy this week due to spring break... and he is off next week too... I honestly don't know if the therapy will continue for a full year... His goal is 10 words... and he has 5 down already!  (in just one week!)

Anyway, we are praising God for this progress - its amazing to see!
