Pediatrician Change

I made a switch-a-roo regarding Bear's Pediatrician. There were some concerns that we had regarding Bear and I needed a Pediatrician who was on the same page as us when it came to the well-being of our son. I'm not saying in the least bit that the former pediatrician we had was bad, she was just more of the "wait and see" approach, and, well, that's not exactly how I "roll."

I was introduced to our current pediatrician by a lady who works with my mother-in-law. She told me Dr. Dickerson was phenomenal and was up-to-date & very knowledgeable about children with special needs.

So, I made an appointment with her as I felt it was necessary to interrogate her just a little bit. :) Oh.My.Word. I was overly impressed and the fact that she applauded me for being on top of things reassured me that much more that she was for the well being of my son too! Can I get an Amen?

She had a plan in place for Bear and it was one that we had already decided on for him...we just needed a doctor who believed what we believed and she did! It honestly was an answer to pray.

I didn't care that her office is in Newnan...as a mom I am willing to do whatever it takes, go wherever I need to go to have that peace of mind that my son is being seen by someone who cares about his health and well-being just as much as we do.

She was patient, took her time with us and even shed a few tears with me! Ummm...hello?

Needless to say, I was convinced she was God sent and we are thankful that Bear is under the right care for his needs moving forward.

HE DID IT!

I obviously have  a lot of catching up to do but as my boy continues to grow and various things transpire in the Sheneman household I will definitely have to squeeze those in. So......

Here's a squeeze in blog!

BEAR TOOK HIS FIRST FEW STEPS ON THURSDAY!!! 

Trey was at work...and, well, I couldn't hide it from him and I knew he would see him anyways...so I called him! His response, "did you push him down?" Umm...NO! I certainly didn't want him to think that he shouldn't walk...instead I held out my arms and he came "running," a little wobbly but he did it nonetheless.

He showed off his skills to his daddy later that night at the gym. Trey watched as he, more confidently, came to me taking at least 5 steps that time. His posture was more controlled and he looked like a pro!
Quite honestly he should look like one...the boy is able to sprint with his walker. I laugh because he seems to be so dependent on that walker as an older person is to their's. Not worried though as I know that his walker will soon be a thing of the past as he runs around the house chasing me and Trey!


As I type, can you guess what Bear is doing?!??! You got it...pushing his walker around at lightning speed! He tires me just watching him. :)

Happy Saturday...enjoy your time with your loved ones!
