We are so happy around here today!!!!!!! On July 3rd, we faxed our script and letter of medical necessity to a pharmacist. He was to work as the in-between for Medicaid and Enabling Devices. When I asked him how long it would take, he said maybe about 2 months. Today Caitlyn received a package from the UPS guy. We weren't expecting anything, and her birthday isn't for about 2 1/2 weeks! Well, it was her communicator!!! Of course the picture isn't of Caitlyn, but that is her device. We can put frames in for 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 pictures!! This is exciting. At school Caitlyn has pretty much mastered having two choices. Now she can move on!!! Even more exciting is that we own this! We can send it to and from school, so we can continue what she is learning at school!!
I think Caitlyn knew very well what was in the box. I told her "look Caitlyn, it's your communicator!" I was so excited about it. Caitlyn kept trying to pull it out of the box and was signing "more." She wanted to check it out!!
Tomorrow is our field trip, and we will go pick up Caitlyn's glasses too!!! Big news around here!!! Caitlyn is starting to figure out little ways of telling us she needs her diaper changed. So, we're off to buy a potty next month!!! We'll see how it goes. I'm not in a big hurry, but I have talked to other mom's and it IS possible!!!! So we'll tackle it one day at a time, and teach Caitlyn all about pottying in the potty!

This is so great! It's wonderful that Caitlyn is able to make choices, we aren't there with Edda yet. It's also nice to know about the potty training.
