Update

So, I haven't updated in quite a while! In Treston's case, no news is good news, praise the Lord!!! He has been doing awesome! At the request of his physical therapists, he got his SureSteps braces and has been using them for a few months now because his ankles turn in pretty badly. His therapy that he was having twice a week went down to once a week because of how well he's doing! He is still getting early intervention therapy twice a month. They have recommended an early educator come out to assess his speech, so she came out to evaluate him and wanted to see him back, but she had to cancel due to sickness and hasn't called back yet to reschedule. We are also getting a speech evaluation done at Theraplay which is where he goes for his physical therapy. He has been saying dada, but very little of mama or anything else so they just want to see if there is anything that can be done to help him at this point. He has also seen an audiologist for his hearing to make sure that isn't the issue. She thought maybe there was fluid in his ears and wanted the pediatrician to look at them. He went to the pediatician yesterday and she said his left ear is infected, but that wasn't the ear the audiologist was concerned about. Well, he had a few days earlier in the week where he had a low-grade fever, so maybe that's what it was from. I gave him some mullein garlic drops, but he seems perfectly fine anyway. We go to the ENT on Monday at Chop so we'll see what they say. I don't really think he has a hearing issue, but I guess when kids don't speak or make the sounds they should by certain ages, they need to rule out hearing problems. He has been doing awesome in his physical therapy! He even took a few steps a couple different times now! He still likes to cruise and walk holding someone's hand, but I think it's more him being unsure than unable!! We got him a small basketball net for Christmas and he absolutely loves picking up the ball and having someone pick him up so he can put it in the basket! It is the cutest thing! He is already so different than the girls! He loves to climb and loooooves to eat...everything, haha! He just goes from eating one thing to another all day it seems and he's still so little! (Wish I could do that!) He is going back to Chop on Thursday for a regular check-up. Please pray that everything goes well. I think his genetic counselor said they wanted to do another ultrasound on his muscles, but I'm not positive on that. Thank you to all of you that have been praying for him and for us. God has been faithful and is continuing to do a good work in us. Here are some pictures we took from his birthday and Christmas. I just melt when he looks at me with those big blue eyes!!!
