Ruth is participating weekly in speech therapy. We are really seeing progress lately. It has been exciting to learn what we can be doing during the week to encourage her to form her sounds properly.
When we go back to UNC in May, the doctors should be amazed.
Ruth tries to copy everything we say and she usually has success with the correct syllables even if the sound comes out differently.
She really calls our family members by name now. She is even excited when Scott comes home and runs to "Ahddy". "Mama" is her clearest word yet! Timon seems to think she calls him "Han", which he says is short for Han Solo. Chloe is "Mack", since her middle name is Makaila.
She has gained all the weight she lost after surgery and overall is much happier this past month. I'm still anxious for her next checkup since they will be able to see how successful the surgery was. I do dread all the future surgeries she will need. My latest surprise was the new tooth she cut in the middle of her palate. We'll see what's done about that soon too.
Ruth is now happy WALKING most places... yes, less hip time for me! That is happening just in time for the ball seasons to begin. Timon is playing baseball and Chloe is playing softball. Ruth is well.... the team mascots!
