Re: Re: OT Speech Therapy was exercise......

[Guest guest]

Becky asked: Did you end up getting the evaluation you were considering for

Kiki?

Dear Becky,

Yes we had KiKi evaluated. She shut down...wasn't easy to evaluate her. But

she had good eye contact with them. They where pleased with this. At this time

they are only going to pursue the speech therapy and PECS system training at

this time, utilizing home therapy, in hopes that she will not shut down with

strangers.

She starts tomorrow. They wanted her to heal first before they start OT or PT.

Her doctored thought the hypotonia (low muscle tone) and slow reflexes was from

the deficiencies, and didn't think it was neurological. She has mild rickets

too. It doctors hope, that she will " heal " out of it, once her body gets the

nutrients it needs, now that the SCDiet is healing her intestines, so that she

can absorb her food. It is our hope that she will not need much else other than

speech. Now that she is doing better, she is becoming more active on her own.

Imagination too, yeah!

Thanks for your concern, and for sharing about your Noah,
