Day 89...Rhys

I'm not sure that everyone is aware what has been going on lately around the Vian house.  It has been a little rough patch, but we will get through this...we always do.  I debated on whether on not to mention this on the blog, but I came to the conclusion that this is a very real part of our life. 

When we took Rhys in for his 9 month check-up I mentioned to the pediatrician that I had concerns with some shaking that he does, as well as some of the milestones that his has not been hitting.  We then were referred to a St. Luke's Elk's Children's Rehab for a physical and occupational therapy rehab evaluation. 

The staff of therapists at Elk's has been wonderful.  Rhys is going weekly for physical therapy and will see an occupational therapist a few more times until we can get a clear picture of what is going on.  He has a blast playing and hopefully this will make him stronger.  It is so hard to see him have to go through this, but I know that it is for the best. 

We have been referred to a pediatric neurologist and a pediatric development specialist.  It will probably be weeks before we can get in to see these doctors.  The not knowing is so hard.  I am no longer allowed on Google.  I am confident that it is something that he will outgrow, but...until then, we play and enjoy the happiest baby in the whole world.  I love you Rhys.
