Olivia's doing great in Pre-K so far. We were back at Kluge at UVA in December and Olivia has been diagnosed with ADHD due to her brain injury. So, she is on generic of Adderall and it's helping a lot at school! Her teacher is very impressed with her ability to focus more now and sit still, follow directions, etc. etc. So glad first med. we tried is working!
Madi is in the Small Impressions class at Daycare at our church and is doing great, as well. She is making little girl-friends and learning how to paint and color among other things!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas this year--girls are now 18 months and 4 1/2, hard to believe!
We have Olivia's surgery scheduled for April 25th at Roanoke Memorial to repair the same bone defect in her head...this time using a patient specific graft so it'll be permanent. We are also looking into a CIT program at UVA (contraint induced therapy) for Olivia maybe this summer or next, depending on our ability to pay, since insurance is not billed for this. Her new doctors and therapists think Olivia is a great candidate for it and it'll help her the most with using her right hand. Stay tuned for fundraising events this spring/summer to help us fund this!! :)
Glad to hear Olivia is doing so well! :)
