Update...


Jakob’s speech evaluation went well. Thank-you to everyone who has called and texted to let me know you were praying. This was very important to us and we were both nervous, so knowing that people remembered and really did pray meant so much to us. The therapist did say that Jakob is behind in his speech, thankfully his comprehension is good. In terms of his speaking he tested at a 14 month level, which is a whole year behind what he should be . Of course therapy was recommended. We explained our situation (with the high co-pays) to the doctor and she did mention the state program, which Jennifer told me about also (in the previous post). I have actually called the early start program before and left a message for the woman who runs it and never heard back, (I just figured we probably wouldn't qualify for it anyways and forgot about it), so as of Monday I will call again and keep calling until someone contacts me. We have also decided that we will wait until January to start therapy. We have a chance to change our insurance plan only once a year and the new insurance would kick in January 1st so we will be researching and find a better plan for our needs at this time. We will also know by January whether we will be staying here in SW Florida or moving somewhere else. -Jeremy actually applied for a job in Jacksonville today.- We’ve been told as long as we get Jakey into therapy by 3 years old he will be prepared and caught up when it’s time for school to start. Anyways, that’s the update for now. Thank-you again for all the prayers and encouragement <3
