- May 14th - development assessment with The Boyer Clinic (development experts that will assess her across motor, social, communication and other skills). We should get a therapy plan recommendation from them.
- June 4th - opthamologist appointment
- June 4th - endocrinologist appointment
- June 10th - neurological development appointment
For now, I feel like we have the right cards lined up and we'll see what we learn.
Taylor had a good day - she did tummy time for 10 minutes - a record!! She's also grasping toys (her favorite is a lightweight rattle) and reaching for objects that are nearby (if I'm holding her, she'll reach for a string on my sweatshirt hood, etc).
I'm enjoying my special time with her - my maternity/sabbatical/extended leave ends this week and I'll actually go into the office on Monday (typically I'll go in on Tuesday/Wednesday, but this coming week I'll go in on Monday since I'll have to miss Wed. for her Boyer Clinic appt). I'm thankful Microsoft has allowed me to take 8.5 months at home and I'm very thankful that I can return part-time - the schedule will be needed now more than I ever anticipated.
Just as I was feeling blue today, I got online to order a pizza for dinner and coincidentally, the pizza website had a benefit notice for one of their employees that has inoperable brain cancer. Of course, I started reading their blog and it is a young gal, with a young son and family, and it's the saddest story. One of our dear friends also buried his mother today and David was able to attend the funeral. I wanted to be there badly, but couldn't leave Taylor and the kids right now. You really don't have to look far to count your blessings.
Today I am grateful for our relative health and happiness. And I pray for peace for those who are suffering. Another good one from Julie:
John 14:27- "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
