Two big developments

Jordan has her new shoe insert/braces. I bought her a pair of sneakers and you’d never even know she has them. Of course we had to try five different pairs of shoes to see if her feet would fit comfortably. It could be a while before I find a pair of sweet, pretty shoes for her.

Also, we got a big deal letter in the mail that says we can move forward through the health care process for Jordan’s next prosthetic. That’s a big deal because:
a) We’re going to Houston next week
b) If we didn’t have health care approval, I probably would have still gotten the arm
c) It gives me a little peace of mind given the extreme cost of prosthetics

Our job is moving to a new health care system in January — more to be worried about.

Another thing that is looming on my mind: In a little more than a year, Jordan won’t have the 0-3 program that helps us TREMENDOUSLY in the cost of therapy. Heck, just the fact that our therapists come to us changed my world. When that goes away, I don’t think our need for OT and PT will disappear. That’s why I’m so glad our therapists are working really hard with Jordan. We’re going to beat down her foot position problems and gain some skills that will benefit her for the rest of her life now. Hopefully by three she’ll have a good base that won’t require as much intense care. So for now, I’ll do my best not to fret so much and just focus on the incredibly growth Jordan has had in the last three or four months. Really fantastic.

Can you believe she’s 21 months old tomorrow? Wow.

Or as Jordan would say: “Hooray!”
