The short story

Brady had his evaluation today at the University.
I am putting the short story here so that I can quickly pass the info along to everyone who is kind enough to be wondering.  We are all tired.  The girls missed us and are beat after playing with friends all day.  Brady and I took a short nap before we picked the girls up but are still beat.  Brad is back at work but I am pretty sure he too is beat. The day was a long and exhausting one with a positive ending however.


We left with a diagnosis of severe speech delay and sensory processing disorder. They were reluctant to give him an ASD diagnosis. They felt that had they seen him a few months ago that probably would have been the case but he seems to be making great strides in his pretend play and socialization and various other areas of concern so they really feel that with continued work he will catch up. They will see him again in a year just to make sure he is still on track.

I am happy with this information. Funny because it is pretty much what thought/hoped for in some ways. Yes there are areas of concern but he really seems to be doing better so let's just keep doing what we are doing and watch to make sure he keeps it up.

Thanks for all the thoughts....it means a lot.  I have to go start dinner now...the natives are restless.  I will be back sometime soon for a little more on the story.
