Today Kaylee went back to Chattanooga. She went to the Neurologist and the GI doctor. The GI doctor was very pleased with her and her weight had increased from 29.6 lbs. to 30.4 lbs. and she was 38″ tall. He even made the comment to her that she was getting a little bit of a tummy. The neurologist was also very pleased with her and all the progress that she has made. She has came so far. He is also sending her to a new doctor so that Kaylee can be looked at and tested so that we can find out what the best way to teach her will be. He believes she is learning and what you give her is going in she just can’t always get it out. And also get some ideas on how to read Kaylee better and learn her style of communication. Here is the information on the new doctor. (This information came from: http://www.tndisability.org/category/topic/_headlines www.siskin.org )
