He's speaking some more. I still can't understand what he's saying most of the time, but we should start speech therapy and occupational therapy next week, assuming Medicaid doesn't fall through.
He's actually seeking out our attention a little more too! He just came over and talked to me while I type this. This week he's been eating more foods again. I don't suspect it will last, but I'm so happy when he does it. He's stealing off our plates and bowls and even eating off a plate on the floor sometimes. Still usually putting food on the floor off the plate first, but hasn't really been dumping it the past few days.
He has his MRI on Fri since we had to reschedule it last week when Mazzu and I both came down with a stomach virus. Thankfully neither kid did, but it was best to be safe.
This week has been kinda rough. Houston was hit hard with flooding Monday night. Our street flooded some, but the worst thing that happened to us was that the power went out for 7 hours. This was bad for the kids. The house got so hot they wouldn't sleep. Once the power was back on, they fell asleep pretty quickly, even with the storm still going.
I'm happy to say that Galen and Flint don't appear to be frightened by loud storms at least. We didn't take them outside, of course, but they didn't seem phased by anything except the power being out. Mazzu and I kept jumping from time to time with the loud thunder.
At the moment, I'm looking into buying used clothes for the kids. We're running low on clothes that fit them and with the twice a week therapies for Galen, well, having different clothes on each day would be good. I even bought myself a new shirt since my old clothes are too big now, like this one Galen wore as a dress (he loves the feel of the fabric more than I do!):
