Good news! Vaughn has graduated to see our Chiropractor, Dr. Ryan to 2 days a week. Asher should only be in his helmet another 4 weeks! Some big milestones are taking place this month and we are grateful. Vaughn still has another 3-4 months in his helmet but we got his first scan and there was progress. Which means our little man is growing. We had our 1 year check up with the Pediatrician and Asher is weighing 19lbs 2 ozs and Vaughn is 16lbs 5ozs. The boys continue to stay about 3 lbs apart.
Vaughn’s first scan (wearing his helmet for 4 weeks): The inside circle is his first scan before wearing the helmet and the outside circle is the progress he has made!
Asher’s second scan (wearing his helmet for 8 weeks):

As we let go of one weekly appointment we are blessed to say we are picking up a new one…. This one though is very unique in character because of the therapist. Vaughn and Asher are starting speech therapy this week and I am humbled and excited to say that it is their Auntie Michelle that will be teaching and training them! Michelle and I have talked and prayed about this move and for now we fill like it is the right decision, though I have given her full permission to fire me (recommend a new speech therapist) at any time if mixing friendship with business gets tricky. I feel at peace knowing Michelle, on a professional level will help me raise my voice, and shout loud if needed to advocate for my sons. I know her insight and wisdom into the boys care will give Jerad and I a strong approach to what avenues should be taken (or not taken) to strengthen their abilities. After a hard conversation with Michelle, and many prayers, Jerad and I are going to move forward with the genetic testing on Vaughn. We are going to have the next round of blood drawn on him but we are going to wait for the results of that test before we have the MRI done. Thank you Michelle for loving Vaughn and Asher so much and being willing to walk this journey with us.
