Now, it has been awhile. Nothing much to report. Will is progressing really well, coming out with more words - our favourite at the moment is pwease. So cute, we make Will say it all the time. He can identify trucks and says something like it.
We still havent got the results back from the blood tests - but I spoke to the lady at the surgery and she is going to chase it up. I am hoping it still means no news is good news. Wills dribbling has decreased, it hasnt stopped but it is much less. We go back to the feeding clinic next week without much progress although I have to admit we havent been working on it too much. I will get stuck into it and see what can happen!
Will is going well at school, using more words and signs. He plays well with a couple of the kids there and is being shadowed less. We have to apply for more funding - even though his progress has been wonderful it hasnt completely changed and if he has a further block of support it just may be all that he needs to be ok at school.
I hope that he is able to be socially ok - my big fear is that during these years is that he becomes an outcast because of his biting. I hate being on eggshells when we are in a social situation as I am constantly shadowing him. I dont think others get it, and I dont think that other parents are aware of the anxiety that is we all are going through. This isnt deliberate actions of a bully but rather a behaviour that we are trying to 'delete' through increasing speech, social function at school and eating. But anyways.....

Hi Mel,
It sounds like Will is doing amazingly well! For what it's worth, I feel anxious in social situations as well as Ava can be rough too. I'm pretty sure it's not just a Will thing - most parents of toddlers are scared about their child hurting others...it's normal toddler behaviour. Still sucks though! A x
