I have been off the list for a couple of weeks (it's amazing how

hectic life is over the summer with 5 kids at home!), and am just now

catching up on the " news " . Your note broke my heart! Just thinking

that could be having some problems too is unimaginable. I hope

things have calmed down a little for you. Has she been evaluated by

a speech/language therapist? I would definitely be getting a 2nd

opinion, especially since she is so on-target with some things. We

had a school system OT give Brett an age-equivalence of 15 months

(when he was 38 mos old), which definitely qualified him for

services. Then, another school OT started working with him on a

regular basis, and she says he is a little advanced! Point being,

kids will perform differently for different people on different days.

Hang in there! Hug those little girls for me!
