I have a couple of blog posts that I've been working on this week, but they aren't ready yet, so you get my ramblings instead. It's late and I can't sleep. So much on my mind this week.

When Tyler had his 15 month check-up, the pedi referred him to Early Intervention for an eval. I put it off because I really thought she was jumping the gun and that he was just fine. I finally called them and scheduled an appointment and they came last Tuesday. He definitely qualifies for services for various reasons. They also have some other concerns and have put in referrals for us to see some other providers. I don't really want to get into all of it. Or rather, I refuse to let myself think about it and be in reality about it. But basically, our Ty baby is struggling. I'll write more about it in the coming months when we see how things play out. We're hoping and praying that he's just having some temporary setbacks.

One of the things they mentioned was his "unusual gait" which I had failed to notice. They asked me to have the PT look at it at our next visit. I really thought they were making something out of nothing, but I asked him anyway. The PT had noticed the gait and had charted it and is keeping an eye on it. If it doesn't start to improve soon, then he will refer us to the orthopaedic surgeon. He believes that Tyler may have a bone deformity in his right foot. Lucky for us, there is a fabulous pediatric orthopaedic surgeon IN Carlsbad. We have so few specialists here, so if Tyler's foot does need to be worked on, we feel really blessed that it can be done so close to home.

The other kids are doing good. We had three snow days a couple of weeks ago and they loved that. It was too cold to go out and play in it (-15 with the windchill) so I don't have any pics, but we really did have a fun few days together. I love being their mama <3

Happy Vday!
