Early Childhood Intervention appointment

The lady from ECI came over this morning.  She is a nurse that works to assess children to see if they qualify for the early intervention group of programs.   We went through all her symptoms, and the list of specialists that she currently has (a pediatrician and 5 specialists).  Because of Hannah’s possible diagnoses, she is automatically eligible for services.  (I don’t know why that is more upsetting to me than comforting.)

Long story short, we have another meeting with an ECI specialist and a nutritionalist (because of Hannah’s possible metabolic condition) on December 3rd.  They want to have Daddy there too, because that meeting is to come up with a plan of action.

Since Hannah is really too young therapy services at this point, I think, the nurse said they may just monitor her monthly just to keep tabs on her development.  If she does show signs of any type of delay, the appropriate therapy will be ordered immediately since she will already be in the system.
