My 4-yr-old DD (aka PF) had a prenatal stroke. She's globally delayed and has a gtube. (any other tubie moms here?)
She's now in a CPSE program at the local children's hospital (where she got her EI services before aging out) and making HUGE strides.
We're starting to use an AAC program on her iPad with her and her SLP is completely on board with it. She took her first independent steps on her 4th birthday last month, she's working very hard on all of her cognitive skills. She's still very behind peers her own age, but she's on an upward curve at all times which is what I choose to focus on.
I'm 30 weeks pregnant with 2.0 and we're trying to engage her with impending big-sisterhood. It's not easy but we're trying. She's felt the baby move, she points to my tummy when asked where the baby is. She blows kisses to my tummy.
On top of becoming a big sister in just over 2 months, we're also moving to a new state this summer where she will actually go back into EI as the age limit is 5 there. That's another set of stressors that I'm dealing with trying to get the info that I need to get her the services she needs. She certainly has a lot of upheaval coming up. Me too.
Anyway, that was a really long winded way of saying "Hi."
