I apologize for it being over a month since my last blog post! I try my best to update little things on Facebook and post lots of pictures but I know many people are interested in Jameson's overall health and what's coming up for him. I believe in my last blog update, I mentioned the tethered cord surgery and how that is on the list of possible things to do coming up this year. After much thought and discussion, we've decided to make a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester for an overall health assessment and second opinion on the tethered cord surgery. Currently, Jameson has about 10 different specialists that he sees along with his regular doctors. The plan is to stay in Rochester for a week and see all the different departments along with whatever tests they need to make decisions on what the best treatments are. After that stay, we will have a meeting and discuss if there is anything else we should be doing or any changes to his current medications/therapies. We are very excited to get into the Mayo system not only for the amazing team of doctors they have there but for all the clinical trials and research studies they have at their disposal. It's something I've been thinking about doing for a while and the timing just seemed right.
Speaking of transitions, we had a big meeting a couple weeks ago with the school system therapists and case managers regarding Jameson starting preschool in the fall. It seems so crazy that this little peanut will actually be ready to go to a school 4 days a week but its here and we're finally wrapping our minds around the idea. The program is only for 2 1/2 hours a day, but its still very scary to us! This little man hasn't been out of our sight since he was born, so the thought of trusting someone else enough to care for him the way we do is difficult but needed. I have heard from many other special needs moms that the growth they've seen in their kids once they've gone to school and interacted with others is just amazing. We're very excited to see what this new chapter of Jameson's life will do for his development and overall happiness.
As always, thanks for stopping by and checking to see the latest on everything little man. We appreciate all the love and support that our family has received in these last 2 1/2 years and continues to receive daily. Love to you all!
