Caleb's progress

As Caleb has grown, it has become clear that his speech center in his brain is very obviously damaged. Thank God, he does speak, even though he is at least two years behind. He will likely always have issues with speech.

It has been up and down, behavior issues are rampant as his iron will meshes with his frustration from his inability to properly communicate. But there is hope, as always.

Recently, he has had an evaluation. The psychiatrist was clear- he is vastly behind on his speech... however he had to keep stepping up the tests in other areas. Literally, it became apparent that in many other areas he is -off the chart.- Estimates are a relative IQ of somewhere between 130 and 140. I cannot thank God enough for my little boy. Even if he can put puzzles together faster than I can.
