So.....drum roll please......... she gained 2 3/4 lbs ..close enough to 3 lbs to make the Dr happy and enough to kick start her growth again....a whopping INCH!!! She is now 46" tall and 52 lbs.....She may make it out of the booster seat by prom !!!!
Her health is stable for now. She had her ear tubes out in February. ENT has decided that she has grown enough that she doesn't need them. So out they came...only complication was a bleed and some vomiting from the anesthesia. He repaired the hole in her ear, removed the tubes and cleared out all the scar tissue from all the surgeries. In early March we went in for hearing tests and ....HER HEARING IS NORMAL!!! For the first time in her life she can ignore me like a normal kid! I am never so happy to yell at her for not listening to me ....because SHE CAN!!!!
School is as usual a struggle... we added a few more things to her 504....as I finally got her OT eval results and it did not add anything that was conclusive. I asked for less problems on the paperwork and tests..more time on tests and if needed during classwork(which she already had but was not being followed for stupid reasons and causing anxiety for Kelsey) ....she is still decoding site words and struggling to read fluently but she plugs along and is proud of the accomplishments she does make and I celebrate each one. She recently brought home a math test with 20 problems (which is against her 504 ...which is another issue recently addressed...ugh...) but was very proud that she got them all done and only got one wrong...which once I looked at it wasn't ,....the number was written backwards...but still and incorrect answer...
Kelsey just finished her first season as a Mite in hockey...she had a great season with two of the best coaches I could have asked for. She scored quite a few goals this season and really enjoyed the season. She has really improved in her skating and stick handling. If only she would stop singing and dancing on the ice during games......
She is now on to gymnastics twice a week as a Hotshot at the gym. She is getting stronger every week....and is so muscular....one of the moms saw her in her leo the other day and commented on how "cut" she was....she really is and its just her body type....but it is funny to see her sitting next to the little girls at the gym and they are still "little" girl body types and then there is Kelsey .......
Well that is all for now...I hope that you have been caught up in what has happened in the last few months...I try to keep little updates on Facebook and save the drama for here...so I am sure that I will talk to you all soon....
And just remember......Poptarts and Oreos do good.....for Kelsey!!!!
