Ever since we learned of Everly's diagnosis, we have been searching for the best doctors and therapists to help us through this journey. With the help of family and friends, we have landed with a wonderful team of doctors so far. The Otolaryngologist, Audiologist and other therapists at USC's Childhood Communication Center, Keck School of Medicine, are some of the best in the world. We are so fortunate to live where we do and to have access to this type of quality care. Our visits to USC are every two weeks now and will increase as she gets older and more responsive.
In addition to the USC team, there is a team of therapists through the Newport Mesa Unified School District that have already started working with Everly. This program is called the Early Start Program and is a state funded program and free for us. The Special Education Deaf and Hard of Hearing Specialist and the Speech and Language Pathologist come to our house once a week for therapy sessions with us. This program is truly amazing. They will follow Everly's progress and help us as she enters the school system.
Three months old today!
Cutest little bathing suit!
Evvie loved the pool!
Everly is only 3 months old today and already needing extra attention. But I'm sure happy to give it to her!
Love,
Elizabeth
Thank you for sharing brave Evvie's story. She's very lucky to have you and Matt as her parents (and Brooks as her big brother) and while I can't ever know the anxiety and pain you feel as her mama, I can imagine all the support and love that she's surrounded by. And with that, she can only do great things! I look forward to reading about all the milestones she reaches and challenges she conquers!
