Ears

I just realized I didn't let you all know about James' ear saga. We went to the EarNoseThroat Doc and he took a look at James' ears and said that we should get tubes in ASAP. That was on April 18th and we scheduled his tubes for the soonest available appointment- May 29th! So, while I had hoped to have the tubes in by the time we were in CA, it is not going to happen like that. We are making progress on making noises and responding to aural stimulus though. Last night at dinner, James said "Mama" for the first time since his seizure. We were so happy!!! It is not a LOT but it is a step in the right direction and we're grateful for him. He has a speech therapist- Michelle- who comes over twice a month to check up on him and give me more ideas on how to help him speak. Thats why "mama" is such a HUGE thing- it means something is working! We just love our little Funny.
