Is it only Wednesday?

I feel like dropping! In one sense, it feels as though this week has flown, but in the other... ISN'T IT OVER YET???? Oh man!!!! We have had two appointments with one kid or the other EVERY DAY THIS WEEK! Most of them, I've gone alone but today.. I had my mother-n-law with me to travel to Riley. We had a nuero appt. today at Riley. They were excited to see Joey. Joey seems to be a hit every where we go... I couldn't imagine why! He's just the cutest little fellow! (Ok, sorry, mommy get s a bit out of hand at times!) Anyways, They said that Joey's tone was still low, but nothing he was too worried about at this point. They are going to do a hearing test to ensure that Joey's ears are functioning properly (He does have selective hearing! I say his name, he doesn't always respond, but if you turn "Jacks big Music show" on, buddy, he's right there at the t.v.!) Such a booger! Anyways, they are concerned because they feel Joey is still in the "cooing" stage when he should be babbling and forming words. hearing can sometimes cause that, but it could just be muscle tone as well. So, they are referring for some more speech therapy. They said also that they are going to wait on the biopsy to come back, but if it doesn't give them a diagnosis, they will begin with spinal taps next. He could have a form of mito that doesn't allow glucose to go to the brain, however... most kids with this issue have never had lactate levels as high as Joey has had so they are thinking not... but something worth ruling on. Over all, not a bad day... but this mommy is tuckered out! things just seem to be getting more and more busy right now! i don't feel well myself this week... so that could be some of it... anyways, time for these bones to fall into bed! Night to all!
