Another update

lots of things have been happening with Isaiah. wanted to catch everyone up to speed.

Isaiah had his allergy testing done last week. On a good note is was all clear. He tested negative for any food allergies. We are grateful for that. but on the other hand thats one more thing to cross of the list that cant be the issue.
We have started the skihi program. It is a program that is done thru the wv school for the deaf and blind in romney. They will come to the house every other week. We will working on sounds and continue signing. When she comes next week she will be doing and language screening on him. I am anxious to see where he stands.
As for signing, Isaiah is doing wonderful. I am completely amazed that he picks up so quickly. I think his signing vocabulary is between 30-35 words. That is amazing. And what he learns -- we learn! He has taught us so much in his little life! Praise God for his miracles!
Today when Ms. Stacy was here we discussed some issues with him. She believes there is some sensory delays for him. We are in the process of getting an occupational therapist to do an evaluation. We started something new called the Wilbarger Brushing Protocol. It involves brushing isaiah all over his body every two hours for two weeks. also joint compressions were added. Also some other exercises too. Alot to do but if it helps my baby one ounce it will all be worth it!
I am in t he process of scheduling another appt with the ENT. I am really pushing for them to do the ABR test. I believe there is a small hearing loss. It seems everyone is on board but the ENTs. They are the ones we need the most. I believe that God placed the right audiologist in our path this time. Please pray for the ENT to agree to do this test. It is very important. It will give us an idea of which way to proceed with treatment.

In ending, although I knew that my baby would have issues to faces this is hard. My heart breaks for him but at the same time I am forever grateful that he is as healthy as he is. I just want to know what we are faced with so that we can get him the best tratment possible.
Please pray for Dave as well. going in tomorrow for a stress test. Been carrying a lot of fluid and the wanna make sure taht he dont have another blockage.
