This week has not been bad but it hasn't been the best. I've decided a few moments ago to switch therapy companies. We are going to use TCH for all therapy needs. I think the kids have come a long way with the team we had but there are certain things I was not comfortable with. Our speech therapist cancels at least one appointment per week. Brody is eating very well now but I've basically winged it to get us there. Our PT is a contract employee meaning she only is paid when she treats the kids. This creates problems when we need to cancel due to appointments or whatever. She informed me Monday that we are 1/3 of her income and with canceled appointments it really affects her paycheck even though, she was on vacation for a week and needed to cancel our standing appointments. Anyway, insurance is paying almost $13,000 per month for therapy services so I want to make sure it is the best there is out there and the care givers are not getting to comfortable because it is an in home setting. Plus, TCH is the best there is.
Since Gracie needs to go back in her leg braces, I put them on her Sunday night. Monday morning her foot was all messed up again. Looks like the braces are going to be gone for good unless the Orthopedic can come up with something else. In other Gracie news, the helmet is amazing! Her head is already so much better than it was and it hasn't even been two weeks yet! She fell asleep on the living room floor tonight and we were just staring at her because she is growing so much. When I picked her up to put her helmet back on her and put her to bed, she had been drooling. Love that little doll. I scheduled her MRI today. She will be having it done at the beginning of June along with X Rays and ultrasounds. She will need to be sedated and we have to be there at 7 am so Ricky will be with us. We don't like that she will be under for this one bit but we know she will be just fine.
Madi is trying to pull up on things. The girl is everywhere these days and she hasn't even mastered crawling yet. I'm going to be in trouble when she is quickly into everything. Last night we were folding laundry and she decided to tip the empty laundry basket over and was trying to crawl in it. And any time we hold her over her crib on our way to lay her down she immediately starts screaming. Not to worry we still make her lay down.
Brody is doing so well with eating. I'm very excited about this because I need to put some meat on his bones. He is doing so much better and is so much more aware of his surroundings. I am so happy and relieved about this.
I cannot believe they will be 10 months on Sunday. Every month I can't believe it's already gone by. Days go so fast. I look up and it's 2, look up again and Ricky's home. I'm thankful I can stay home and raise them. I would be very sad if they were in daycare all day. So much happens during the day that I wouldn't trade for anything.
