Worrying Over Nothing...

Sheila from EDIS came over this afternoon to observe Toby. She was a very nice woman. We ended up going over the survey and she obviously asked me a lot of questions about Toby. After adjusting the survey and adjusting his real age she determined that there really isn't anything to worry about. (Really? :) ) The only thing she said we could, as parents, "work on" with him is giving him some social settings like giving him the opportunity to give us his foot to put his shoes on or put two objects in front of him and ask him to hand us one of them. Things that I admitted that we really haven't done a lot of. She also commented that she thought if they would have given me more time to answer the survey in the first place, that I probably would have answered differently and there wouldn't have been all the "red flags" that caused so much concern. At the end of the appointment, which was about 30 minutes long, she said she'd like to follow-up in two months and at that point "we can see where to take this, which I don't think will be that far."

Until later,

Emily
