Let the good news keep coming!!
Billy had his "early intervention" evaluation yesterday with Denver Options. Denver Options early intervention program is basically designed to help children who are behind in regards to milestones. The idea is that the sooner you address the issue, the sooner you can start to fix it. Billy's pediatrician thought that he might be behind in his speech/language skills, so he referred us to them. He wanted to be especially proactive given billy's epilepsy. When i spoke to a representative from denver options, she decided that due to his condition, he should be evaluated in all areas of development (cognitive, gross motor, fine motor, language etc...). We went through the evaluation and they basically said "sorry, we can't treat him. he's RIGHT ON TARGET!!" Yay!!! He hasn't fallen behind at all!! That's such great news, b/c epilepsy (and i'm sure any condition involving the brain) typically has a pretty significant effect on development, specifically cognitive development. I don't think Kyle and I could be more psyched (except for when we heard he didn't have a metabolic disorder)! It feels like such a weight has been lifted! God has been (and continues to be) very, VERY good to us!
