Hanks Update

Time for the monthly update on Henry...

He was evaluated by an Early On Coordinator today. She met with us at our house, talked to Colin and I for awhile and then played with Henry for a bit. Her conclusions were encouraging in many ways. She told us that in most things Henry is right where he should be...18-24 month range (he's 18 months old right now). That was encouraging, especially in his gross motor skills. There were many things he was doing that aren't expected until much later too, so that was great!

She evaluated his speech to be in the 7-10 month range. I guess that's kind of what we expected, but again, a little hard to hear the specific numbers. We're encouraged though, since we will be meeting with a speech therapist within the next two weeks to set up a plan for Hanks. We have already seen a huge improvement with his speech in just the past couple of weeks...it's great to hear him say "mama" now!

Thanks again for support and prayers...we feel 'em!
