April

Got to go to the apraxia workshop that I signed up for in February.  Thanks to the fundraising that is done with the apraxia walk that was done in Denver, I and many other people were able to attend for free.  It was an Apraxia 101, which honestly is the first time I have sat down and found out a lot of answers to my many questions.  I feel so blessed to be able to say that we have found the right SLP because she fit all the criteria that we were told that a good SLP for apraxia would have.  That is a "Good one God" there because it was totally ironic how we got Brianne Lay in the first place.  I am not sure if I posted before but I will again :)  When we got back from Boys Town, I emailed many SLP's in this are and Denver and she was the one and only to write us back.  She is amazing and Kamiree loves her...all big pluses!  I also learned that Practice language is all we should be doing all the time.  I mean making her talk instead of getting it when she points or we "understand" what she is saying...she needs to say it!  

I was blessed this trip because my mom went with me.  I was able to show her the school Kamiree is going to attend as well as have her go to 2 speech therapy sessions with Kamiree and I.  Kamiree did so well, this gluten free stuff seems to be working, and was calm and worked hard the whole 30 minutes.  It was such a transformation from just 2 months ago.  I was able to sign Kaden up for his school this time, and he will go with us May 8th to have his interview.  It seems to be falling more and more into place each time.  I know I am saying blessing a lot but I do feel blessed at this point.
