Today we have Logan's school Halloween party. It's at 10am until after lunch. 10am? Really? I usually don't drop him off until 9:30am. I volunteered to help out, so I'll be there from 10am until at least noon. I'm debating on bringing him home for a nap afterwards or going back to pick him up at 1:30pm. We have the nursing home parade this afternoon and it's right in the middle of nap time. I don't have a problem waking Izzy up for it, but Logan can go either way. A complete sleepy disaster or a happy little one. We went last year and it was fun, but a LOT of work running after a 1.5 and 2.5 year old. I had to tell them to 'put down the oxygen tube' a couple of times. Anyway, we'll see how Logan is today.
Speaking of Logan, I received his full OT report and had a conference with the therapist yesterday. The report was very detailed and thorough. She recommended therapy 2 times a week for 9-12 months. There is some question about if our new insurance will make us meet the out of pocket maximum (like 3k or something) before they even start paying the 80%? I can't imagine that's correct, but we must check first. In any case I think our schedule and budget will only allow 1x/week. If I thought he really needed it twice a week we would obviously do it, but the therapist said he had a mild delay. She expects it to be fully corrected in 9-12 months, so that was great news to hear! She also gave us tons of ideas and exercises to do at home.
I showed Isabel the Toys R Us flyer (it was about 20-25 pages or so) and gave her a pen and told her to circle things that she really wanted. I didn't know that this was going to be such serious business and that she would spend about 45 minutes pouring over it carefully making her choices. She also went back and circled things she thought Logan would want. When she came to the Spiderman DVD she asked me "is this something I should circle?" So funny. I can't wait to see how long it takes her to pour over the BIG Toys R Us Christmas book! I should save that for when I'm desperate for an hour or two to get something done! She's been feeling pretty good. She has what seemed to be the start of a cold (running nose mainly) last week along with Logan. I started her back on maintenance Singular and Flovent. She still has a little runny nose, so I'm going to stick with it for a few more days to make sure we don't run into breathing problems. She's been getting little tiny random hives occasionally like she used to get before we knew about her peanut allergy. I used to eat peanut butter toast in the morning (but not the kids) and she would get random hives sometimes. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it, but I'm stumped. Sometimes she'll wake up with one or two tiny hives. I haven't changed detergents or anything, so I'm stumped.
