Another busy day

Another busy day, I guess I could use that title just about every day.  Today Selah and Sarah had speech evaluations.  Selah's was short, just had to prove she could hear by making noise and seeing her respond.  One SMALL thing I've noticed lately is if you make noise she will eventually turn towards the noise.  She did not use to do that at all and we were told to watch for that at the "rehab" she was at.  She did quite well in turning towards the noises today.

Sarah did wonderfully and won hearts as always.  I didn't mention this the other day but for her first assement the therapist called her over and she didn't respond.  So the therapist said "oh she doesn't know her name or to come when called"  and me being the smart butt that I can be sometimes when I'm a little annoyed, said "no she knows her name and will come but not to you."  so I called her and she hopped right over to me.  (I was really glad she did not ignore me LOL)  I really hate assesments and evaluations, it's not like I'm stupid, I know where my kids are at and it is ok, I just don't want anyone else to say where they are at!   But today was very positive! 

As I said Sarah was charming and the therapist said that Sarah has a lot of potential, more than what anyone has noted before.  She feels Sarah may wind up with some commutative language skills:)  Things were very positive and are moving along.....

Then Sarah had PT and got to show off her skills:)  BTW she can go from her walker, and hop her bottom into the swing ALL on her OWN!!!!!!   She just started being able to do that!  That girl is amazing!

Then Selah had PT and left for HBOT with the nurse and then Sam had his vision assessment for vision therapy.  Sarah will be having her's on Monday. 

So as always we had people in and out of our house and working with our kids. 

It is hard to have so many people in and out of your home on a daily basis but it's worth it since it helps the kids.  I say it is like living in a REAL reality show!  Nothing is scripted....  they see the REAL Clantons LOL!  So we have a full time nurse -2 a day/night shift.  Then we have our PT 3x a week for 2 hours each time.  And we have our OT here once a week for at least 2 hours.  Once the kids start getting services, they should have a couple hours a day of services EACH, then if you add all the various  folks here and there....it's pretty crazy!  I'm on first name basis with the UPS and Fed -Ex guys as we get so many deliveries  for the kids.

I've always though it would be FUN to have our own show, Jon thinks it would be terrible but one of our nurses SWEARS he is writing a sitcom about us LOL...SCARY!!!!!

Well we are finished with day 14 HBOT, no real change.  She does turn her head towards sound but it seems she was starting to do that already before HBOT.  She did a good job on that today while the Speech therapist was there.  Please continue to keep Selah in your prayers. 

Tomorrow is going to be a relaxing day, I hope!  This has been a busy week and next week is also.  Lots of appointments and more evaluations for the little ones.  Then the next week we go to the cabin for a few days with friends:)  Really looking forward to it, just not looking forward to all that goes into going away for a few days!!!!!!!
