On the right path

It's been a while! We've been busy with life - lots of hospital appointments for L, sorting things, making plans and the most important stuff like playing :)

There's good news and not so good news.

I'll start with the latter - unfortunately L lost weight at her last weigh-in. Not a lot, thank goodness, but it still wasn't what we were hoping for. At just over 3 1/2 years old she weighs less than the average 22 month old.

But the good news is that we now have an AMAZING new Health Visitor who is being so supportive and proactive - I can't tell you how refreshing it is to see someone who actually gets on and does things! We now have referrals in to the Community Paediatrician and the Educational Psychologist for her CAMHS/SCAT assessments.

L also had her first play therapy session with the Speech and Language Therapist on Friday. It went well and I really hope it'll help her with her tactile and oral sensitivities. The S&L Therapist has also done a referral to an OT to work with all her other sensory issues.

I know we still have a long way to go but right now I'm feeling more positive that we're, at least, on the right path.
