If there is anyone who still reads this, I'm sorry that I have not been posting more regularly. I think my last one was right before I got hit with morning sickness. Sam has been going to school since January and absolutely loves it. How very fortunate we are to have the program that he is in available to us! We have seen many specialists over the past few months and have felt a bit overwhelmed by the information that we have learned. We do know that we are going to have to get Sam some more intensive therapy in order to have him caught up for school in 2 and a half years. Our insurance will only cover a small amount of it, but we are certain that this is what he needs, no matter the sacrifice. We were able to get a second opinion on Sam this past week. The plastic surgeon and speech pathologist both agreed that there was no way that he could speak correctly with the way his palate is now. We have a surgery scheduled for August 20th. These decisions certainly do not get easier. I think of how hard it was to hand him over to the surgeons as a baby and thinking how terrible it was. Now, I am thinking that this will be even harder because he will know what is going on. Please, please continue to pray for Sam. We have been told that he needs to see a neurologist again. This worries us because we know that Sam is so far behind. We have to remind ourselves that no matter what is diagnosed that God is still capable of miracles. We have been working with him on his colors. It's something that my other kids just picked up through reading books and day to day stuff. With Sam, it is totally different. We're not even sure if he sees colors correctly. This small skill that we are trying to teach him seems to be a bit overwhelming at times. Please pray that we will be able to figure out the best way to help him.
