And the New Diagonosis is....

Asthma

Poor T. We were so close to keeping him healthy long enough to catch up on his shots but at last he came down with another cold yesterday morning. I took him in for his 18 month appointment this morning hoping maybe he was healthy enough but rather then shots he got hooked up to the nebulizer again. We're to return in 2 weeks for a follow up and to come up with our "asthma action plan". The good news is he has gained 2 lbs in the past 6 months and is back up to 25% in height and weight. Poor little man. Hopefully you'll out grow it like mama.

18 month word count
da = dog
ba = ball
mik = milk
mo = more (and sign)
an ou = Thank you (and sign) new this weekend :)
occasionally Mama and Daddy

5-7 words puts him with in "normal" (normal being 5-10 words by 18 months) but well behind Leah at the same age. The offer has been extended by the NP for a state evaluation. But I think he just needs a little time to be healthy so we're going to give him a little more time to master the art of chatter before we go down that road. I'm kind of enjoying the silence for now...not like it's going to last for ever...He is a Heasley after all. LOL.
