Knock on Wood

Drew did not vomit, hurl, spit up at all yesterday!! Hallelujah!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!

Granted, he did wake up at 4am, in some kind of discomfort - we were all in a funk yesterday.

Was it taking the diet down a notch? The Augmentin? Don't know and don't care at this point.

Hopefully the massive diarrhea will go away too (I know TMI)...

Drew did very well in PT despite the fact he was exhausted! Did very well following commands. The therapist commented that Drew would be a great candidate for Augmentative Communication. Unfortunately, Drew cannot get insurance coverage through Children's Hospital, the State of Michigan supplemental insurance who would pay for it deemed it not medically necessary. How is communication NOT MEDICALLY NECESSARY to survive? Grrrr.... We can reapply next January. Beaumont who has a new Children's Hospital, does not offer Augmentative Communication at this time. So, right now Drew is screwed in the speech/communication department. He gets one hour a week at school. And I work with him at home when I can.

If anyone knows of any other Augmentative Communication programs that accept CSHCS as payment, please pass that information along.
