My Patience Is Thin...And FirstSteps Update!
So we have been waiting...and waiting...and waiting to find out results from Genetics Labs. We had to wait on insurance to approve (or not) for 3 weeks before we got the denial. Than we decided to go ahead and send the labs and pay out of pocket. Well, just found out that the order never got placed for them to send out the labs, so we have been waiting 3 more weeks to find out that the timeline is getting started AGAIN! So they just FINALLY sent out the labs to GeneDx lab in California last week. Which means we still have 4-8 weeks to find out the results. I find myself to be somewhat of a patient person (mostly). But my patience is running thin. I don't know if I can handle any more hurdles to getting these results. I know the results don't really change anything, except maybe an understanding of what is going on - or another test that proves everything is just fine.
FirstSteps has been coming to our house for about a month now. And I feel like it is one of the best things we have done for Brooklynn. Her vocabulary is starting to take off. She is attempting to use more words than ever before. They might not be 100% clear, but she is attempting to talk a lot more which is encouraging. We are working on some of the behaviors she has - such as being able to sit and concentrate on things that she might not want to do. Firststeps is giving us things that we can work on at home, which makes it nice to know that we can continue to foster her development. I am excited to see how much more improvements she can make.
The girls start school in a couple of weeks. Izzy is so excited to be a big girl and go to Pre-K. Mommy's not so sure she is ready for this big step yet! And Brooklynn has no idea she is starting school, and mommy is really nervous for this big milestone as well. School will really help us, though, in determining if her behavior things are really something to worry about, or if she will adjust to a schedule and expectations that school presents her. We get to meet their teachers next week which I am very excited for!
Life has been full of exciting and fun things this summer. The girls are growing every day, and discovering more and growing so much! I am loving every minute of this parenthood thing - even the difficult, trying times.
