Greetings!
Elsa and Jonas had a busy week. We took them to their NICU follow-up this week. This is the appointment where we sit in a room and different specialists cycle in and out to check for different developmental skills. Elsa and Jonas did great. While they didn't pass all the tests, they came in four to six months behind on a couple, they were champs and tried their best. It was interesting that they were scored on all the tests based on their December 12th birthday and there was no factoring in their four months premature arrival. While we know that when they are school age four months difference won't matter for different skills, we felt that this early on that is still a big gap in time. The great news out of all of this is that they qualify for more services that we can try out to see how they help Elsa and Jonas. The kids rocked overall.
Elsa and Jonas reteamed with their good friend Joshua to visit a pumpkin patch this week. The three December 12th birthday babes went together last year and it is becoming a tradition. They picked pumpkins, rode in wheelbarrows, and ate new foods (white raspberries--who knew?). Great times!
Elsa's first surgery is nearly here and we are nervous and excited for her. We pray for steady hands and quick recovery.
God Bless,
Dan & Jonas & Elsa & Mari
