i had a few minutes before my shows come on so i thought i would let everyone know about jaxon's pt/ ot evaluation today. the lady that came did their evaluations and is also an RN so she knows all the medical stuff. but she evaluated him at
gross motor 6 mths
fine motor 5 mths
cognitive 6 mths
language 6 mths
self help 6 mths
social interaction 6 mths
while i know his fine motor skills are off because he can't see as well but seriously his social interaction that far behind too? i find that hard to believe. he interacts with me, matt & branson. laughing, smiling, cooing. no he doesn't interact with strangers because well, they're strangers. he doesn't have stranger anxiety but he's not going to laugh at them or smile at them. he doesn't know them. so how can she truly measure that? his cognitive skills, i mean really? you expect him to solve equations? he realizes object permanence. but do you expect him to get upset if you take something away from him? that's not his nature. he is content just as he is. so now they want to do an even more extensive pt/ ot eval with an actual therapist. why i don't know. they already know he's behind so just get on with it. but it could be worse. he could be on a list for months and keep getting farther behind. but it seems that it's all directly related to his eye problem & seems to be connected with all the drugs they gave me while i was pregnant to stop my labor.
then what cracks me up while she's here and branson's talking like normal, playing his game she had the gawl to ask me if i understood what he was saying or said most of the time. i said well yea and pretty much everybody else does too. she said that she didn't and recommended him going into speech therapy or head start. i wanted to laugh at her so hard. head start seriously?! i mean has she seen or knows anything about this county's head start program! hahaha yea riiiiight lady. nothing but "mondays" so um yea i'm NOT subjecting my child to that and all that trash when i and most everyone else understands him just fine. matt said he was glad he wasn't here bc he probably would have told her to jump off a cliff. anyway we'll see what happens now.
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
ReplyDeleteShe was evaluating Jaxon and had the audacity to ask about Branson. Yes, it has taken a while for his speech to become understandable but he is at a point now where he makes sense, his words are clear and his sentences are put together. He has made SO much progress and she has NO ROOM to open her fat mouth, she doesnt even know him.
If I was in your situation and found out all this was happening to Jax because of the meds they had you on, I would sue the HELL out of them..
noooope!!! the more i thought about it the more it pissed me off. yea his speech has exploded compared to what it used to be. i mean he can say soooo many words now clearly that he couldn't say before. "wa wa" has become "water". only when he gets really excited i can't understand but i have him repeat it and it's like aww yea yea i get it now. just bc SHE couldn't understand him doesn't mean others don't. even people in stores that don't know him understand.
ReplyDeleteand trust me once it's ruled that the meds caused this matt said there will be the biggest law suit! i mean i had soooo many drugs, all at once, highest doses, for a really long time. nobody knows the long term effects only what it does right then, which is stop labor. and it's not like i've ever had a normal pregnancy to compare it to.
