Neuro Exam

Our appointment at the neurologist went great today.  The nurse practioner was wonderful.  She went through Camdyn's whole history with us and talked about any concerns we might have.  She then did an exam of Camdyn and found nothing out of the ordinary.  Most importantly, we got a letter from her stating that speech therapy is "absolutely required" in Camdyn's plan of care.  Hopefully, we will have no more problems with getting speech therapy covered by insurance.  We plan on starting therapy back again very soon.  I felt very relieved to hear that there was nothing concerning besides just being extremely premature and having a speech delay because of it (which we already knew).  Thank you all for saying a prayer for Camdyn.  We are so blessed.

I saw a friend's link on Facebook to a blog written by some close friends of hers who just had premature twins at 25 weeks gestation.  The little boy, Drake, is fighting an infection and having problems with his kidneys.  Please pray for this family, their twins, and especially Drake, that his kidneys will start functioning properly.  You can read their story at www.drakeandkennedy.blogspot.com.

I agree with your last post that preemies should not just be caught up at age 2. My girls also got a speech referral at their 2 year development appointment.A while back you had asked me about joining your preemie support group and I couldn't find it on facebook do you still meet? Also my family is praying for Kennedy and Drake.
