people have been asking for an update but im behind as usual :)  we met with dr ben in the midst of the blizzard thursday.  i was waiting for him to bring up the issue from reading her reports.  he wanted to know where we were at with everything and we told him we never did anything after seeing the neuro. i explained my thoughts and reasons for waiting on testing and he said he was comfortable with waiting and seeing how she progresses and we will revisit the issue every time we see him.  he also said he wouldn't have noticed the low tone if he hadn't known so that was positive for me to hear.  but he did say that MD isnt diagnosed until later and then i for some reason got really worried again and was questioning myself.  he explained things well and i held back the tears.  he thinks it wont change our treatment plan right at this moment.  and he explained hydrocephalus and how her head is measuring big but the jumps up in percentile were not huge and not a concern at all.  thats all we wanted to know people!!  why couldnt someone have explained that to us before when we were asking??  he also said he would refer us to STL if we decide to go back for testing.  so overall it was a good appt.  he asked if she could say 6 words and i said probably 20 :)  and honestly in the past few days she has just started repeating everything!!  you can tell her to say any word and she usually will say it pretty close.  aaaaaand on friday she took 3 steps 2 different times!!  she took her time and did it slowly-not like falling walking into something.  everyone says watch out!  but tyson and i both said, we know our little lady and she still probably wont do that again for a few weeks!  shes not daring.  she likes to perfect her skills before using them often.  i said she will be walking by 16 months so that gives her a month to work on it!

ive been working like crazy lately!  getting so many patients.  i actually have a lot of kids im seeing right now which is neat and a few adults.  im loving so many new challenging things to research and refresh my memory on how to do different techniques.  i am loving my job!!!  the best decision i ever made (besides marrying tyson and having a baby) is taking this job!!  life is good! :)
