Our insurance situation is still in the process.  I have an appointment on Friday with our pediatric doctor for a consult in regards to a letter of appeal to the state.  I hope all goes well and of course in our favor. 

We had a revolving front door today.  At 8:30, two ladies came to give Eva her one year evaluation.  They recommended that she get developmental therapy added to her schedule.  I was happy to hear and observe two strangers see that she is far behind her peers.  That is a good thing (the additional therapy that is). 

We also had speech therapy today.  Eva was looking at her sign language book and showing or saying dog, cat, baby, book, fish, flower, hat, and telephone.  She has yet to conquer bird and ball.  She can also say in sign bath, more, drink, and eat.  I think there are more I just can't recall at this moment.  Finally after nap, her PT came.  We started working on her quads, going in the sitting position and making her stand without assistance.  Then we decided to try walking for the first time with assistance.  She was literally doing a death grip on my fingers but Lenore suggested me to give her the balance needed by placing my finger tips on her hips.  That worked!  So we were sitting about four feet across from each other and helping Eva walk back and forth.  She ended up taking six independent steps on her own!  I swear, not much makes me emotional but I could feel a small watery substance come to my eye.  I quickly blinked hard and whatever that was went away.  I was so happy and proud of my little wonder-child.  I really think that she will be walking by her birthday.  We have six more therapy sessions to master this act.   With her perseverance and much assistance, I can see this goal accomplished.
