Current Events

Blake has been sick for most of her Kindergarten year. She has had strep numerous times, (along with other things) and after her tonsils not clearing up after 3 months of strep and many antibiotics, it was finally time for her tonsils and adenoids to come out.

We went to the ENT on a Thursday, and we were scheduled for surgery the Friday of the following week. (April 10, 2015) No time to waste! I didn't want her to be sick for any longer - missing a little Kindergarten would be okay! The doctors and nurses were so kind and she was as brave as could be. Blake knew it would be a good thing to get them out. 

The moment they wheeled her into surgery was hard for me - luckily the surgery was quick and 30 minutes later Dr. P told us that it went as planned. He said her tonsils were so nasty and full of tonsilliths, and that it was good they were out! Recovery is still ongoing... 

Easton met with a diagnostician and speech pathologist from the district today. At his 4 year old well check, our doctor said his speech development was delayed for his age and referred us to a speech therapist. I opted to use the school district instead of going private due to cost and ease.

It was really interesting seeing him evaluated. Blake and I watched (she's home from school for a week after surgery) and I was amazed and so proud of my little guy. They stopped his full evaluation, covering all areas of development, only because of time restraints... he was on a 2nd grade level! Easton is such a smart little boy. He did qualify for speech services and will start in May. We've been talking about how he gets another teacher to help him with his letters, sounds, and talking. He is so excited to get another teacher and be a Crestview Tiger like his sister!
