Quinnie Update

Now as most of you know, in late October Quinn started receiving some help from First Steps.  At the time, she qualified based upon the "self help" category (as she wasn't feeding herself).  In addition, she wasn't walking yet.  Both of those things have been "fixed" partly thanks to the help of our developmental interventionist.

At Quinn's 18 month check-up, there was concern about her lack of speech.  So we had her hearing tested and although her hearing was in the "normal" range, they also found that she had middle ear fluid.  When I was driving back home from Nebraska, the pediatrician called and they have decided to watch and wait - retest her hearing in 4-8 weeks to see if the fluid is still there or not.

However, due to the worrying about the speech, I talked to our First Steps people and Quinn is going to start getting a speech therapist to help her with this - starting in February.  So please wish us luck and hope that this works as great of wonders for Quinnie as her developmental help has (she will still be getting this through March).
