Progress, progres, progress!!! Jax is doing so great! I just can't believe how he has taken off since his surgery in july. The goal of walking by christmas is very close to happening and I just can't explain how happy that makes my heart. I had a speech eval done on him in oct and turns out he doesn't have a speech delay at all. We see a speech therapist twice a month to help with some feeding issues he is still having but even that is not as delayed as I thought it would be. We haven't seen dr Grady since sept, we will see him in jan for a checkup and i expect wonderful news. Our little angel is just full of energy and so happy! The girls are doing well also. Whitney had a little bit of 1st grade anxiety for a few weeks but we have worked through that finally and she loves going to school again. Miss Tori is as social as ever with chorus, student council and trying to keep her grades up she is a very busy girl. Layoff rumors are floating around my corporation again, we got an email explaining the state budget crisis stating that if things don't improve by jan 1 they are going to start making us take 2 furlough days/pay period, which means two days off without pay. I guess I should be thankful that we are not being laid off yet but I fear that they are just postponing the inevitable, the state of IL is just a mess financially and I'm scared that our little program is not going to surrvive much longer. So, Im checking the classifieds daily and keeping my options pretty open. Hopefully something will fall into my lap soon. Jason has had to start taking loads out of the area, which means he's been spending 1 or 2 nights a week away from us. It sucks terribly but the bills have to be paid. Thats the update from this camp...happy holidays to all who are keeping up with us!
