Finally!!!

On Wednesday, Babies Can't Wait finally came to evaluate Paisley.  Seven weeks after the original call was made to refer Paisley they finally made there way to us.  Of course, this was just the evaluation and no programs have been started yet but at least we're getting somewhere.  I just praise God that Paisley isn't having any serious developmental problems that have been put off.
Now onto the BCW update. The two evaluators arrived at 8am to start evaluating Paisley.  There was a physical therapist and an occupational therapist.  The physical therapist spent time playing with Paisley getting her to roll over, sit up and other gross motor skills.  The occupational therapist used blocks and noise making toys to see Paisley's reaction. After spending about an hour with her they gave me their update.  As expected, there are a few things that Paisley is not doing that are at her age level but the therapists did say  there were areas what she was right on track.  The basic idea though is that she is eligible for services from BCW and they are suppose to come meet with me again next week to discuss exactly what services she will be receiving. I'm hoping that it won't take as long to get the therapy set up as it did to get the evaluation set up. :)
Extremely Good news,  Paisley is half way through her injection series AND is STILL seizure free!!!  That makes 6 weeks without a seizure! 
At this point in the injection series I think Paisley may be having more of an effect from the medicine than she was in the beginning.  She's definitely fussier on shot days and I'm not able to get much done on those days because she wants to constantly be held. Other than the fussiness though, she's doing amazing with the shots.
