Developmental Pediatrician

I originally was not going to post this on Charlie's blog but when I started to write the post about C's appointment at the developmental pediatrician I didn't feel right not acknowledging what has been going on in our lives. 

On Saturday the 12th my (almost!) 93 year old grandmother passed away. While her age would lead one to believe that this was something we should have expected, her health and her young spirit made us think she would live forever! Her loss has definitely impacted me and my whole family and we are currently mourning the loss of this unique and funny lady!

Ok, so on to the developmental pediatrician.  

The appointment was totally uneventful which is actually a good thing! The dr felt that Charlie Claire was slightly delayed in some categories but still within a "normal" range! He felt that underneath her minor deficits she is an intelligent young lady and there was no reason to believe at this time that she will have any major long term issues. He said that usually the biggest obstacle he faces is kids having a loving, supportive environment to help them grow and thrive but it was obvious that wasn't an issue in Charlie Claire's case! :) We did discuss her risk for ADHD which we are already aware of and something that is on our radar screen. 

Thursday is C's assessment with the developmental ophthalmologist, will let you know how that 2.5 hour appointment goes!
