Bye bye Enalapril!

Sammie saw to docs last week and all is well and wonderful!
First he saw Dr. Drucker, his Cardiologist. She was very pleased to inform us that Sammie's echo looked the same as last time. That means his heart function is the same and hasn't gotten any worse. Because his function was the same she decided to take him off the Enalapril and increased the dosages of Digoxin and Carvedilol. One less drug is sooooo exciting! One less thing to make sure he gets and no more waking him up to give him meds! woo hoo! We won't see her again for six months =)

Sammie also saw Dr. Hastings, the Optomologist. This was the same day as the Cardiologist so by this point he was exhausted and cranky. He did however perform well enough that we don't need to see her again for a year! It's great that his appointments are getting less and less!

Today we met with an OT and PT to do half of Sammie's pre-school evaluation. We had to pick one of the local agencies and then they try to get him to perform all sorts of things and ask a bunch of questions to get a better understanding of where he is developmentally. They rated Sammie at an 8-10 month level. A little lower than his current therapists but you have to remember that these therapists are not familiar with Sammie and have only seen him for one hour of his whole life! So we will meet with the ST and Special Education teacher next week to do that half of the evaluation.

We're still not sure what's going on in the fall. We def. think he'll qualify for pre-school..the problem is whether or not there will be a pre-school available. He is on the list for one that "might" close due to finacial issues and the other one is full. Hopefully someone drops out cause he's next on the list! Maybe someone will move! Whatever happens I'm sure something will come together! It always seems to work out!
