Switching it up.

Well, Brad's insurance appeal was denied. We will press forward with a second level administrative appeal, but in the interim, we're pulling the plug on services. We're going to try to apply some of the the therapy, particularly the gross motor exercises, ourselves. The fine motor activities will probably be hit or miss.

And since we're losing OT, I've put the wheels in motion on private speech.

I asked the OT for some parting words of wisdom, and she told me something that makes this mama proud. Something I've heard from many therapists before her. She complimented Brad on his great temperament. "He always smiles, and follows directions," she said. Too true. He's a great little guy.
