Appointments

We are going to be busy with appointments in the next two weeks. Thomas has two evaluations scheduled. He's being seen by an infant development specialist on Friday afternoon and a speech pathologist 10 days later on March 23rd. They each come to our house for the evaluation. I really have no idea what to expect; I'm just glad that we're finally doing something. Although if the future is anything like the past, it will be another 5 months before we get a report or find out if he qualifies for free services.

We're also going back to The Shriner's Hospital on Monday afternoon (the 16th). At our first appointment, they said his burn should heal within two weeks. It's only been two days but I haven't seen any improvement at all. I'm starting to worry that he won't heal fast enough and he'll end up with a scar. On the other hand, Jeremy thinks it is getting better. His arm does bleed a lot when we clean it and blood is a sign of healing.

So much for avoiding the heartbreaking parts.

Wow. That sounds so horrible for you. Poor little guy. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, Erin. It is pretty awful. Hopefully, it actually will heal in two weeks. We can do anything for two weeks.
