Hoppy Easter!
Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter! We had a house full of family and friends and it was wonderful to get together. I am addicted to getting every “Baby’s First ____” that I can find and because I have some mental issue about it being authentic and having to purchase it for the actual occasion, Evan was struttin his stuff in some Easter gear. I couldn’t find bunny ears so I couldn’t 
replicate one of my favorite images of cousin Jacob so I had to settle for some hat I found at Target. Not the same. And Evan was not the one to be messed with to take goofy pictures. It’s like somehow he knew I was already plotting his high school graduation open house…
Since the last post, we had our evaluation with Speech/OT and are going to have treatments once every week. We are going for out PT evaluation in a couple weeks and hopefully he won’t need any of that. It seems like he has been making a lot of progress on his own, which we figured would happen. We have 144 ‘units’ for OT and PT every 12 months with Medicaid. Each session is 4-5 units. After that, we are charged for the co-pay. So, if we don’t need PT, we can get that much more for Speech/OT. Our insurance does not cover Speech but does cover OT so we are going to be seen for OT. I don’t know what the difference is between the two for eating issues, but I think we’ll be fine.
Evan has started to roll over so he is on the cusp of becoming very mobile. Exciting for him, new issues for us, especially for feeding as we need to ensure his tube doesn’t become disconnected, pinched, opened, or pulled. Maybe we’ll have to ask other g-tube families what the did for their mobile tubie baby. Oh! And Evan has been Mr. Fussy Pants lately because he is about to get some top teeth! Or at least one, which is currently right below the surface. Poor little guy, it has to be painful.
Here are some Easter Pics and just basically Evan being cute.
