As I'm sure many of you are aware, Edmund finally went for a visit with a pediatric neurologist last Tuesday after a 3 month wait. Waiting for the appointment wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. The neurologist was exceptional. He got Edmund to show off his skills simply by having Edmund play with a variety of little toys and trinkets (an educator's dream). I told Steven to take note. The neurologist's take on things was that Edmund is simply doing things in his own way and at his own pace. Edmund is stubborn, to say the least. Edmund loves to say "crawl" and pat his hands on the ground pretending to crawl, but no actual crawling takes place. I would have loved to find out why Edmund has such a dislike of being on his hands and knees or why he has more than despised tummy time since day 2, but the jury is still out on that. The neurologist ordered some muscle enzyme tests to be absolutely sure he was correct in his theories. Yesterday we received the results of both tests, and all was within normal range. Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers during this time. Edmund may not be a champion tunnel crawler, but he is well on his way to becoming a world-class linguist.
