I hate to jinx my luck, but at speech on Thursday, Kynlie's speech path brought up discharging Kynlie from speech therapy! Kynlie's speech has been great lately and last week, she met her last 4 goals and Valerie said she doesn't really have anything else to work on with Kynlie.
Since Kynlie has a great history of doing really well in an area and then regressing, I asked Valerie if we could maybe take some time off and then see if Kynlie continues to progress like she has been and Valerie thought that sounded like a good idea. We will continue to go through the end of January, then she will put Kynlie on hold. We will take off February and March and go back and Valerie will re-evaluate to make sure Kynlie is still where she needs to be. She said it is hard to get insurance to pay if Kynlie is discharged and then needs to be seen again, that's why she will get put on hold. If at any time I have any concerns, I can call and they will get Kynlie in right away.
It will be nice not having to drive to Dickinson once a week, but, I am not working on Mondays anymore, then take away going somewhere on Thursdays, my weeks might start to get long!
From Dickinson, we went to Bismarck for Neil's follow up appointment for his PRK surgery he had in May and his vision is perfect. Kynlie had a follow up for her surgery she had in March to straighten her eyes and the doctor was very impressed with how everything looks. Her left eye used to slightly turn out and Dr. S said that the only way he noticed the turn out was when he was measuring the angle of her eyes. Her vision has not gotten any worse either so that was also great news.
We don't have to go back for 6 months. Neil and I were talking about it on the way home and not quite 3 years ago when we brought Kynlie home from the hospital, weighing 5 lb 3 oz., we had to go to Bismarck every other week, now we are down to every 6 months. She has made such great progress considering where she started out.
Wonderful!!!!!
