Galen's hearing is fine. They actually managed to successfully test him without having to sedate him.
I started in with the calls today. Requested that the neurologist try to get the genetics testing done again, since we changed insurance and the other one wouldn't approve it. Got tired of waiting to hear about the MRI results, so now I have them. MRI results were mostly normal. I expected as much since they hadn't called for a follow-up one. Nothing to explain developmental delays. Nothing serious, but there was a few differences. Apparently they're common differences seen with developmental delays, and we'll find out more about them at our November appointment. He said Galen's brain looked really good for his age.
Yesterday makes 2 weeks at Cole Pediatric Therapy. With the storm, he only saw the speech therapist yesterday. But, he did do a puzzle with her for awhile, and at one point, she asked him if he wanted to do the puzzle more and he said "nope" to her. She was surprised by it. I haven't seen a huge difference, but I imagine with all therapies, it'll take awhile to see big differences. He has been trying to say "tea" more when he wants my tea though.
He's also been trying to play with Flint more from time to time. A couple days ago, he tried to pick her up even!
One big surprise was his reaction to Grammy and Grandpa. While he didn't really recognize them, he didn't freak out and scream horribly either. And even ate a slice of the pizza they brought. He got fed up of being around them (expected), but it was probably a good 20-30 minutes before he did so.
Oh, and during the storm, Mazzu went outside (trash day) and Galen kept standing at the door looking out. He voluntarily went outside while it was raining and even got a little wet. He was having fun anyway. Maybe the random scared of water and the bathroom stage is coming to an end. I can definitely hope anyway!
