EEG Results

After several weeks of waiting, Daddy decided we needed to call and get the results of the EEG. I was content with pretending they didn't exist. I called this morning and began the agonizing waiting for a return call, only to find out a few hours later that the results came back normal. I love getting good news. Now I'd like some more, please.

Katy was sick yesterday so today was our first day back into therapy after the holiday weekend. Mr N was excited to see Katy and even gave her some hugs.

Mr N did pretty good during therapy today, it was only 2 hours long since we had a meeting at the school that interfered with therapy. Since it was a cold, rainy day and shortened we let the kids watch a movie so that Katy could see how much Mr N repeated things from the movie. She got to see him sing along, repeat lines and say cute things from Phineas and Ferb.

The meeting with the school was unsuccessful. Mr N fell asleep on our way there and slept for the first 30 minutes while mommy answered a slew of questions. My witty responses brought me commendation on my amazing sense of humor. I am funny, there is no denying.

When Mr N woke up he was not so thrilled about being in a strange place with strange people looking at him and trying to engage him. Soon the room was filled with cries and screams despite my best efforts to convince him that it would be fun. E took advantage of the situation and played with all sorts of toys and explored the room, it was a kindergarten room so it had lots of fun stuff.  I finally took Mr N outside in the pouring rain to calm him down, the psychologist accompanied me to try to obtain more information and to try to get Mr N to respond. It took about ten minutes to get Mr N calmed down then we headed back inside. This did not bode well so we headed to the car with the entire evaluation team in tow. We buckled Mr N into his carseat and he calmed right down, accepted the toy he was offered and began interacting with the speech pathologist. They took turns trying to get him to do things. He did do some talking, high fives, and fist bumps but they didnt get enough results to finish the report. They will come next Wednesday during therapy to observe him.

His IEP that was scheduled for this Friday is rescheduled for next Friday, so that they can finish up the report before the IEP. The entire process is so incredibly stressful.
