MRDD Evaluation and Testimony

Toby had his evaluation yesterday for Occupational/Physical/Speech therapy. The gentleman that came from Franklin County MRDD was very nice. He will write up a report and send it to us with recommendations, and then hopefully Toby can start receiving some therapy soon. He is really starting to smile at us now. He even smiled at Aunt Lynsey who was here visiting for a few days. Toby weighs 11 lbs. 12 ounces now, and the dietician decided to increase his food amount again because he only gained 5 ounces in 2 weeks; not quite as much as they would like. He's now getting milk over 20 hours at 36 ml/hour. Another note - they took blood and did a test on his electrolytes just to make sure that his sodium was staying level while just being fed breastmilk with no additional fortifier, and it was 136..perfect!! If you remember his sodium had dropped down at 3 1/2 weeks of age, and we're still not sure why. I am glad they checked it just to be safe. Last night and this morning I gave my testimony about God's faithfulness through everything with Toby to our moms2moms group at our church. My friend Erika sang the sang "Held" by Natalie Grant, and we showed a slide show of photos of Toby. It went really well, God truly spoke through me, and I hope and pray it encourages everyone to trust God in good times and in bad.
