Genetics follow-up

We met with our geneticist again last Monday. We spoke about Savannah's speech problems at length and she agreed that it is something that needs further evaluation from the cleft team soon. So she bumped up her yearly clinic appointment from late May 2014 to Feb 20, 2014. That way all the team members can look at her again and decide the best route to fix her speech issues. The geneticist is very concerned with her hyper-nasal voice and the fact that it has not improved with the speech therapy she has been getting. She gave us more referrals for a speech therapist in hopes that we could expand on what she is receiving with the school district now.

Our next appointment? Dec 12th. We are finally getting a speech evaluation done by our HMO provider after fighting denial letters for a year!
