David Jeffery Seveland

Hey everybody!  Sorry I haven't been on and updated in a while.  Things have been busy and with all the stress I have avoided the computer.  Well I am back and over the next week or so I will be adding new pictures, updated information and new blogs.  This will just be a sort of update since march with more info to come throughout the week.

Well, since the last blog David has found a vascular team.  We went to Norfolk to meet with them in the beginning of April.  It was a very good visit.  We met with a Plastic Surgeon, Dermatologist, and a Vascular Specialist.  They scheduled some very needed tests for David, that had good results.  David was also interviewed, in April, by a county program called Paeds.  It is a "No Child Left Behind Program" offered through the county.  At 20 months his speech was at a 12-13 month level.  He is now receiving speech assistance from a Speech Educator.  She comes to the house once every 2 weeks to work with us and him.  We are getting ready to have him evaluated by the school system (Childfind Program).  This program will allow David to get help twice a week for free through the school system.  He will be put into a 2yr old preschool program that is from 9:30am-11:30am on Tuesday and Thursday, if he is accepted.  Hopefully he will be accepted.  David had surgery last Wednesday (6-11-08).  He had the enlarged gland in the right side of his neck removed.  He is recovering fabulously.  We have not received pathology back on the mass as of yet but are patiently waiting.

I will keep everyone posted with the updates.  And remember that I will be posting more detailed letters very shortly. 

Thanks for understanding.
