"Our Smiley Baby Boy"
"Talking to Daddy with those Hands and Eyes"
We are going to start pushing Jet really hard to start closing his mouth and keeping his tongue in. His receptive language has sky rocketed and he is able to understand, "Jet close your mouth." That has been neat to see. His drooling has just been horrible lately and we're not sure why that is. Today his speech therapist was impressed with how much more Jet is trying to vocalize. He is ready to start talking.
Yesterday he had physical therapy. During Physical Therapy he uses a platform swing to help him with his balance. In August of this year, he HATED the platform swing. Down right refused to get on it, because it made him so uncomfortable. And yesterday, he ask Rebecca for it. She was extremely proud of him for that. She was also concerned about the profuse amount of drool.
As most you know, a couple of weeks ago Jet visited a Geneticist. I haven't thought much about that appointment until just a few days ago. During the appointment the Doctor took a urine sample to check hormone levels and a few other metabolic issues. If it ends up being hormone or metabolic, it can be treated.
Here is my request. Please join me in praying that whatever is causing Jet's delays can be treated and he will receive healing. I pray that the diagnoses will be simple and that all of our questions will be answered. Also, if you don't mind, for the next couple of months - please add him to all of your prayer lists and ask your friends to pray for him. I strongly believe in the power of prayer and it is my desire for him to be soaking in it when we make our way back down to Oklahoma City in March for the test results.
For those of you that are faithful readers, Thank you!! It is a tremendous blessing for me to know that there are people out there that are walking with me during this journey with Jet.
I pray that all the results point to something treatable soon!! Love ya!
