Way Past Due - Early On News

Sorry to keep everyone waiting for an update lately. This past month has been a whirlwind of activity. We had a very busy December and have also embarked on a kitchen remodel (you can read more about this in our family update blog).

I have decided to post a bunch of smaller updates instead of a novel that will cover everything. This way, you can pick and choose which ones you want to read.

I will start with the great news we received from Mason's Early On program. In early December, they did his yearly review which includes testing in various areas. Mason did great. His speech, social and cognitive skills are either testing within range or slightly ahead of his adjusted age. His fine motor skills still need some work, but are not too far out of normal range. His gross motor skills are still a struggle for him, but he seems to be slowly catching up. Overall the review was very positive. His therapists stated that once Mason starts walking, he will finish out the school year and then will most likely be discharged from Early On. WOW! They also suggested that he join a playgroup next year for normal 2 year olds at one of the local elementary schools.

Mason has made a ton of progress and we are really excited for him!
