I decided to post today since Maddy's evaluation is tomorrow morning. She will be evaluated for her speech or lack there of. It begins at 9:30 and I believe that it will mostly consist of checklists that will be filled out by Robert and myself and then the coordinator will probably watch Madalyn in her natural environment and fill out more checklists. After tomorrow, our coordinator, Ebony, will take the information and work with specialists to see if anything should be done. We may need to have Madalyn's hearing tested or take her to a speech therapist. My prayer is that she says her first word tonight!!
I know that so many of you have been praying for her. We have definitely seen some progress lately. Robert and I have heard sounds that definitely resemble words. During dinner a few nights ago we think she may have attempted "DADDY" and then last night we thought we heard "BED TIME". I hesitate to say that she is talking because she hasn't repeated them and we're not sure if our ears are playing tricks on us.
I'll try to post tomorrow night so that you'll be able to see how the evaluation went.
Easter was great!!! The girls were adorbale in their dresses and of course the Easter Bunny stopped at our house. Sunday we woke up earlier than usual. The girls got their baskets and then we had breakfast. Anna Grace got Connect Four and too much candy! Madalyn got a new baby doll, coloring book and too much candy. After we all got ready for church Anna Grace and Madalyn hunted for Easter eggs in the yard. They both seem to be very competative.
Next we went to church and worshiped our GREAT GOD.
We all met at Pop and Tulie's house after church. Anna Grace and Madalyn received their second Easter baskets and again received TOO MUCH CANDY!! We had a wonderful lunch and a great time visiting with lots of family.
