CDSA and Hearing Test

I'm behind on posting the latest updates on Madelyn. Thursday I took her to have her hearing evaluated. She still has fluid in her ears...no surprise. She was started on antibiotics that morning also for a sinus infection. Her hearing was fine for having fluid in her ears but they are recommending to her pediatrician that she see an ENT dr. They also want her to have her speech evaluated. When I told them she choked on cheerios and other small solids and threw up, they said this was definitely a problem and wanted me to make a visit to their speech therapist.

CDSA evaluated her Friday and are taking her on to help catch her up to her age. She will have several visits with an occupational therapist and also another provider who will come work with her with her speech, eating problems, and hopefully get her up and moving soon. She tries to crawl but she's not that great at it. She can't get very far and it's more like an army crawl than being up on her knees and hands.

She definitely charmed both places and smiled and laughed at everyone both days. She's such a happy baby most of the time. It is getting a little better every day with all three b/c she's starting to be able to play some on her own and interact more with her brothers. She loves toys that make noises and tapping things together. I do need to teach her how to take a toy back after one of the boys takes one from her. She doesn't know how to defend herself yet and that's a have-to-know to live here.
