The county came out on Monday to evaluate Shane for speech and, as we expected, he qualifies. There is no other concern other than speech which is good. So his therapist will be calling me this week to set up a schedule. She will come for 1 hour, once a week. I'm sure this will make Shane's life easier and can't wait to see how he progresses. He warmed right up to the worker - I remember when Brennan was evaluated, it took her forever to draw him in. He is such a good boy and I know he'll do great with the therapist.
During the visit, the speech person asked if Owen had reflux. I said that's so funny because that's what I was suspecting. I took him in right after they left and Dr. Limmer started him on zantac. I think I see an improvement. He was 9lb 7oz so he is gaining like crazy. He now has baby acne and is losing his hair - he looks like a grumpy old man! He sleeps a lot in his swing. That was the best $50 I've spent! At night, is usually up twice, with one of the times being a long time awake. All in all, I think he is a fussier baby than Shane was. It's funny how quickly you forget your children as newborns (or even as babies).
