MillerFourWays: Levi's eval & Ruthie's playdate

Two posts in one week.....maybe I'm getting the hang of this. ;)

Levi had his eval today. It went well. Too well. They denied him services because.....he doesn't have any delays. I knew that going into it, but was hopeful they would accept him for his plagiocephaly. The therapist said the plagiocephaly would have to be impeding his development and it isn't. Which, on one hand, is GREAT news! He's progressing normally and just like a baby should - we're super grateful for that. On the other hand, it means we'll have to pay out of pocket for his cranial scan and Doc band (helmet) if it's determined he needs one. Boo. (But did I mention how super proud I was that he scored so well on the testing they did with him? A typically-developing baby! Boom!)

On a much lighter note, it took me four days to remember to transfer all of the pictures from my phone to the computer, but here are some from Ruthie's playdate with Noah last Saturday. She gets so excited when she knows he's coming over or we're going to see him. Noah is a 25-weeker and the sweetest little fella ever! His mom, Jenny, and I were put in touch with each other through a mutual friend back when Ruthie was in the hospital with the NG tube at 6 months. Noah already had a gtube and Jenny helped lessen my fear at the thought of Ruthie having to have one....and in the end, both of our kids ended up going to the same feeding clinic a couple of years later. Now, both kids have ditched their g-tubes and are thriving! Jenny is such a great encouragement for me in so many ways and I appreciate our friendship so much. Ruthie and Noah have had lots of playdates over the last 3 (ish?) years - I included some of those pictures, too.
