Short update

Yesterday we got a call about a neurologist appt for Galen. We were referred by the developmental pediatrician apparently. So that's in May.

Today we had an unexpected visit to the regular pediatrician. She actually just wanted to check in (the developmental pediatrician had called her yesterday). She got to witness Galen having a bit of a melt down. It was unexpected since he'd been in a good mood, but HATES to be weighed or having his height checked, so then he was very upset.

Flint's doing great as always. Galen's doing ok. She recommended we get his medicaid changed to the Texas Children's plan the rest of us are on (as it will cover more stuff for him). She's sending in a referral to ECI for both Galen and Flint (since they'll be here evaluating Galen anyway, they can also evaluate Flint just in case). She signed the handicap placard paperwork for Galen as well.

He needs to lose the pacifier since it's messing his teeth up now :/ This is going to be a HUGE deal, since he sleeps with them and it's one of the only things that calms down his melt downs. Not sure how to go about this.

Oh and since we got home, he even (seemingly) listened to "Galen no!" outside. He followed me out as I put some trash in the trash can and had stopped following me (which I didn't immediately realize). I quickly looked for him and he was a couple inches from the street on the driveway and when I said "Galen no!" he turned slightly in a different direction. I picked him up and brought him back in with me.
