The past few days have been a little rough for Dawson which in turn always makes things a little rough on all of us. Not sure whats bothering the little guy but he has definitely had a mood swing this past week. He had an ear infection last week that may still be bothering him. He's had this terrible cold ( which we are all still fighting) lots of coughing, constant running nose and his appetite is down quite a bit. And sleeping......... well that's just a joke and always has been. It's been much worse for the most part this week. The only thing that seems to satisfy the little guy is mommy. As long as mommy is holding him and he can feel her skin then things are ok. Anything other than that just won't do. Were hoping that this crud that has invaded our house will soon be gone and we can all get to feeling better.
We have finally gotten a day set up for a speech therapy evaluation to see if he qualifies for therapy services. It will be this Thursday and we both feel he needs some help in this department. He has words that he says but he doesn't necessarily say them with what they mean. Example, He says the word Da Da but doesn't call me Da Da. He only repeats the word of you say it. The only things he associates with words is" Dog" ( when he sees one) and " bite" when hes being fed.
His vocabulary started off really well but he just hasn't built on is like we think he should. We just hope the evaluator sees these things too so he can get therapy.3
So were just working hard right now trying to get the kids over this bug and back to feeling 100% again. Thanks for your prayers and support we so appreciate it!!
Our love to all
Jeff and Allison

Poor guy. Hope he gets to feeling better! Maybe he will be able to receive the therapy. It's great if they feel he doesn't need it, but I understand wanting the best for him. So, maybe you can persuade them a bit....if that's possible....
Take care!
